I congratulate you on your excellent record 
of serrice In the (Jreat War, - a record which has fulfilled the 
promise giiren during your training at Canp Fuaston. It is an ex- 
cellent record. 

The regiment was organized on the fifth of 
September, 1917; left Camp Funston on the second of June, 1918; 
arrived in England on the seventh of July and in France on the 
ninth of July, 1918. It trained at Artillery Training Center, 
Camp de Souge, Bordeaux, and left there for the Toul Sector 
Sepitemter t^velfth. Wont into the line near Euvezin on Septembe'r 
seventeenth and was the first American airtillery to support there 
following the St. Ulhlel drive. Hemained in that general locality, 
constantly under fire, for nine weeks supporting the 89th, 37th 
and 28th Divisions. Participated in the Second Array's Uetz offens- 
ive November eighth to eleventh and moved forward into Germany as 
part of the Army of Occupation on November twenty-ninth. Your 
colors have been decorated by the Commander-in-Chief, American 
Expeditionary Force, for participation in the Euvezin Sector and 
for duty with the advance of the Second Army, ■yhich was t'rmin- 
ated by the Armistice. 

You have made a fine record in a division . 
which comes back with a most excellent record for discipline and 
efficiency, and loyal and gallant service. The record, 4M^^XZI, 
iivision, is second to none. ^ 

From the first, I have taken great pride 
in the Divisioa and the organizations which compose it__and have 
followed your career through the warA-*?* **^ ^tc*.<fc-< *t>^*x*»*7 

I take special pleasure in extending to you 
most sincere congratulations on your splendid record and in wish-

HEADQUARTERS 

EIGHTY NINTH DIVISION 

AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES 

GERMANY 

May 6, 1919. 
My dear Colonel.- Davis: 



it is a pleasure to say a word, now that the regiment 
is about to leave Geri.^&ny rcj&rding its service in Europe. 

The ^41st Field Artillerj^ entered the line 'In-the - 
Euvezin sector, .northwest of Toul, on September 17, 1918, 
remaining on dtity until the Armistice - a period of 55 days. 
It supported successively the 89th, 5Vth. f.nd 28th Divisions, 
cooperating at all times with the Infantry to the fullest 
extent. On Kovetiber 10th, it suprjorted the 56th Infantry 
Brigade in the attack on Doiiimartin and LachauSsee, which ¥jas 
the beginning of the offensive on Metz. On the morning of 
the llt]i, one battalion had taken position in the line of 
the inCantry outposts n'c-ar l.Iarimbois ?me., and the other bat- 
talion was ready to move forward with the infantry as it 
jumped off. 

The Commanding General, 28th Division, highly conuaended 
the 164th Field Artillery Brigade, of v.hich the regiment is a 
unit, for its fine support of the activities of the infantry. 
The men of the £eth Division infantry freely expressed their 
confidence in the supporting artillery. While on the front 
the conduct of the men in general was above reproach at all 
times and unuer Ell oircumstances, many revealing unusual 
ability under added responsibilities. 

The regiment arrived in Germany, December 7, 1918, and 
has done well its part during th? trying period of the 
Armistice. Tlie regiment is composed largely of Colorado men 
and is marked, in a division with, relatively little illiteracy, 
for the superior intelligence and fine physique of the men. 
It has been a s..urce of regret tliat the Artillsry did not join 
the Division earlier, during the period of active operations, 
and could not support it duripg the great offensives. It is 
beyond a doubt that such support would have been of the best. 
You have every reason. to/be proud of the fine recora of your 
regiment', and you' are justly entitled to great credit for its 
efficiency. 

The Division Cocu.iander extends his congratulations on 
the fine record of the 341st Field Ai'tillery, and best wishes 
for its members on demobilization. 



Colonel Sobej-t Davis,

Colonel Robert Eavis,

I'.y Dear Colonel :- 

1 have your letter of recent date, in -tihioh you referred to the 
organization of a veteran association in your regiment and ta the publi- 
cation of a regimental history. 

It seems to me that it is highly important to keep up the associ- 
ations tliat have been formed during the great war. 'iour regiment has made 
a record for itself of which the mecbers can justly be proud, and there 
should be opportunities for them to get together and renew old friendships 
and together go over the old times. Therefore, I believe that the action 
you are taking is most comuendable. 

The members of the regiment taow its history because they have 
made it and, therefore, it is out of place for me to attempt even a brief 
recital of v;hnt it has done. It is a very proud thing to be able to say 
that no task has ever been assigned tjiat has not been fully performed. 
This can be the boast of the 341st. 

All I can ada is ny very profound congratulations on the splendid 
v70rk the regiment has done, and my be^t ivishes to each and every one for 
a happy and prosperous future. i ^_ • j

To the Regiment 

IN writing an introduction to the following history of our Regiment, I ask my 
fellow officers and men to pardon me if it appears I have used an unneces- 
sary amount of space in referring to myself. This is done because a brief 
recital of my military career will only tend to strengthen what I shall say about 
the Regiment as a military unit. 

I first put on a uniform at the age of si.xteen and from that day to this, w ith 
the exception of a few short and unhappy periods, 1 ha\e constantly worn the 
uniform of the United States. During these twenty-two years fate and the 
accidents of war have given me service in every grade from a "Buck," through 
all the non-commissioned positions, and on to the grade which I now hold. Fur- 
thermore, 1 have served as an enlisted man in the \olunteers and the militia; as 
an officer in the militia. Regular Army, and in the National Army; and as an 
officer of the Regular Army 1 ha\e commanded a regiment of militia during 
the Mexican mobilization of 1916. In this service great opportunity has been 
offered me to study at close range the \'arious and sometimes bunglesome attempts 
of the Go\-ernment at national defense. Also it has afforded exceptional oppor- 
tunity to observe various classes of men under different conditions and from widely 
scattered localities of the United States. As a result of these experiences I find 
myself positively convinced that there is but one sure and satisfactory defense 
of our country and that is the National Army, the Selecti\e Ser\ice, or more 
popularly called Universal Service. 

To perfect a system of national security we ha\-e but to fall back on the 
citizen soldiery, led by a corps of trained citizen officers, who shall be educated, 
trained and qualified for their important positions, just as lawyers and doctors 
must qualify before organized society permits them to practice their professions. 

We ha\'e just about as much guarantee that war is a thing of the past as we 
have that an epidemic of "flu" will not reoccur. The comparison is apt, for I 
believe that as .science, knowledge and understanding increase, both "flu" and 
war will decrease; both are horrible and undesirable, but both exist, and it is 
as much our duty, by perfecting a system o.f defense, be it military or diplomatic, 
to prevent war, as it is the office of the medical in\estigators to establish necessary 
sanitary rules which shall lessen the probability of the spread of disease. 

To disarm, or to relax in military preparedness, at this time is as foolhardy 
for a nation as to tear down the flyscreens because there is no typhoid in the 
house. Evil may be controlled by constant combat only; no one has ever dared 
hope to permanently subdue it with one stroke. 

To you who have experienced the trying ordeals of real war these facts are 




self-evident, and this knowledge makes it even more incumbent upon you in your 
futui'e lives to so conduct yourselves as to preserve the experience gained, both 
in your ever present endeavor to avert war and to teach those around you that it 
is a thing to be despised and avoided; reserxing by a clean, law-abiding life your 
privilege and ability of again spring to arms should our country be threatened. 

In addition to the just sense of part ownership in the Government, to which 
your service entitles you. there is even a greater benefit that has come to us all — 
1 refer to the friendships that have sprung up among us. who were but a short 
time ago utter strangers. These ties you w ill (ind must last during all your lives, 
because you can have no better friend than the man with whom you have fought 
and sacrificed as you all have done in the past seven months. 

Men are easily tempered to hardships, and w hile 1 would condemn a boasting 
spirit upon the part of any one of you, 1 nevertheless charge that forever you 
bear in mind the nine solid weeks you were under fire, steadfastly and stubbornly 
holding an important position, undergoing constant hardships during all that 
time that were equal to the spurts of fighting occasionally exacted from other 
shock troops. During the march through the hostile lines into Germany, which 
was made under exceptional difficulties, and while garrisoning the strange and 
lonesome towns of our conquered enemy, your conduct has been exemplary and 
by it you have not only earned the everlasting gratitude of our people at home, 
but you have brought new honors to this Regiment which you have made and 
of which you are justly proud. 

In the name of those of the Regiment who made the Great Sacrifice, and for 
the sake of the honor of the Regiment and the states which are represented in it. 
I ask that you return to your respective civil vocations a broader and better citizen, 
faithful to your neighbors, and amendable to the laws of your community; that 
you exert your new found strength only in defense of the weak, and that you 
remain ever on the alert to improve all the conditions that may hereafter surround 
you. Should the manhood of our country forever maintain the high moral and 
physical standards exemplified by you through all your service, the future of the 
United States as a powerful and peaceful nation is an assured fact. 

Wherever you go, and whate\-er you may do, my one and constant prayer 
will always be. "May God bless you."

1. The Division Commander, with a feeling of sincere pride, publishes below 
a letter of commendation from the Commanding General, Second Army. It 
is indeed a pleasure to realize that our recent activities have been appreciated, 
and that the efforts of all who have taken part in this work have brought additional 
credit to the Division. 

The 164th Field Artillery Brigade, now attached as Divisional Artillery, 
has done much toward the success of these operations.

(Through Commanding General IV Corps.) 



Subject: Recent activity of 28th Division. 

1. 1 desire to inform you of my gratification at the \igorous and 
sticcessful activities of your Division since its entry into line on the 
front of the Second Army. The recent patrols and raids ha\e resulted 
in making "No Man's Land" our land, and in lowering the morale of 
the hostile units on your front, as well as in inflicting losses on them 
and capturing a considerable number of prisoners. Such conduct 
exemplified the American spirit, and cannot fail to create a feeling 
of confidence on the part of our own troops and of corresponding 
depression on the part of the enemy. The 28th Division has shown 
its ability to execute promptly the tasks which have been given to it to 
perform, and its officers and men have exhibited an efficiency and 
dash which are highly commendable.

341st Field Artillery 

"IMMEMORIAL" 

FIFTY-FIVE consecutive days on the Front, during the World War, is the 
fighting record of the 34ist Field Artillery. Under the command of Colonel 
Robert Davis it, through consistent andefficient fighting, established a repu- 
tation for reliability, covering during this period, the relief of three divisions 
in addition to numerous infantry regimental reliefs without mishap, and firing 
more than 87,000 rounds in performing its many missions. Its missions in the 
many infantry raids were carried out efficiently, so that not once was the regiment 
criticized for failure to co-operate fully with the infantry. Other missions, such 
as harrassing and destructive fire, as well as fire on fleeting targets, were well 
executed. It held the confidence of the infantry it supported, as proxed officially 
by the commendation of the Commander of the 28th Dixision, the best evidence 
of good work by an artillery unit. 

After the armistice was signed, the regiment was ordered to join the Army 
of Occupation of Germany, an army composed of units that had won for them- 
selves the name of trustuorthiness and reliability. In these units. General 
Headquarters placed the most confidence, and knew that they could cope with 
any situation that might arise. 

The regiment was most fortunate in having as its commander. Colonel 
Robert Davis, better known to the men as "Colonel Bob," an officer to whom 
his command was loyal, and to which he in turn was likewise loyal. He had 
the faculty — or gift — of thoroughly understanding the whims and prejudices, 
the likes and dislikes, and the problems of his men and officers. He knew men, 
the most important knowledge that a commanding officer can have. A veteran 
of the Spanish-American War. he had successfully fought his way up through all 
ranks, consequently he knew what to e.xpect. He believed that every last man 
of his command had common sense and ability and that they should be used. 
We were not burdened and irritated by countless petty orders. When he gave 
an order it was not accompanied by a maze of minor detail. He had confidence 
that we could supply the details and achieve the desired results. He wanted 
results and he got them. So long as we stood by him and did the best we knew 
how, we could count on him standing by us. And he did. 

The regiment saw only fifty-three days on the firing line, but it required 
slightly more than a year to train it for active service, delayed as it was by innu- 
merable obstacles. Lack of equipment and materiel, more noticeable in artillery 
than in infantrv units, was the chief obstacle. The total unpreparedness of

S- 






the United States was brought forcibly home to every artillery officer and man 
each time that he had to simulate. Our training progressed as fast as the 
materiel was received; no faster. 

Organized on September 5, 1917, at Camp Funston, Kansas, as a unit of the 
164th Field Artillery Brigade and of the 89th Division, under the provisions of 
the Draft Law of May 18, 1917, which provided for the creation of the great 
National Army, it was commanded by Major Telesphor Gottschalk, and officered 
by commissioned personnel from the 2nd Battery, 14th Provisional Training 
Regiment, Fort Riley, Kansas. The organization commanders were: Battery 
A, Captain Howard R. K. Tompkins; Battery B, Captain George Englehard; 
Battery C, Captain Harry E. Randel; Battery D, Captain Harvey A. Fancher; 
Battery E, Captain Habeeb A. Saidy; Battery F, Captain John P. Swift; Head- 
quarters Company, First Lieutenant Theodore Tabbert; Supply Company, 
Captain Edward N. Wentworth. P-^irst Lieutenant Wilbur T. Gullion was 
regimental surgeon. 

Two days later, September 7th, the first increment, 210 men from Colorado, 
was assigned to the regiment. These men were of the first five per cent of the 
first draft called to the colors, and included only a few who had seen prexious 
service.

With the foregoing personnel, commissioned and enlisted, a skeleton organ- 
ization was hastily formed to receive the second increment of 825 men from 
Colorado and South Dakota that arrived on September 1 8th. With the assign- 
ment of this increment, the sti'ength of the regiment was sufficient to enable the 
battery and company commanders to perfect gradually their organizations. 
Increments received during October and November brought the regiment to 
above normal strength. During the winter, transfers of men to other canton- 
ments, and of specially qualified men to other branches of the service, reduced the 
strength of the regiment to below normal. Replacements were later received 
at Camp Funston, immediately before entraining for o\erseas, at Camp Mills, 
Long Island, New York, and in France. The aggregate of men who at different 
times have been members of the regiment is more than 4,000. 

During December more than sixty officers from the Second Training Camp 
for Officers were assigned or attached. From the original officers and from 
these were selected those who eventually accompanied the regiment overseas 
and were in command w hen it first went into action. 

Major Telesphor G. Gottschalk was relieved of command on October 21st, 
and assigned to duty at the Artillery School of Fire, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, as 




-21- 






an instixictor, Lieutenant Colonel Henry B. Clark assuming command. Two 
weeks later, Lieutenant Colonel Ralph McCoy, an infantry officer, was placed 
in command. Under him the artillery learned all about infantry reviews. On 
January I, 1918, Colonel Robert Davis, who had only recently returned from 
France, where he had seen active service with the first American troops to go to 
the front, assumed command. This happily ended the changing of regimental 
commanders, for Colonel Davis remained with the regiment until it was-mustered 
out. 

The training of the regiment was rendered doubly difficult; first by the 
general lack of experience of the junior officers, and by their false conception 
that arose regarding what seemed apparent wide differences between the 
American and French artillery methods: the false conception was not entirely 
erased until the regiment had seen actual service; second, by the lack of 
equipment and materiel. 

The first two months of training were devoted to the school of the soldier 
and to military courtesies. With this fundamental training, instruction in the 
various phases of artillery commenced. 

To aid in the training many substitutes for missing materiel and equipment 
were improvised. Simulation bore a large part of the training. Wooden guns 
were built for gun drill. Hobby horses of barrels on stands were used to teach 
the position of the soldier mounted. The fire control and signal instruments, 
home-made, gave the specialists their first practical conception of their duties. 

The value of the foregoing make-shifts was proved when the materiel was 
issued. Horses, a few in number, were received in November, although 
not until midwinter did the regiment have its full quota. Even then there was 
a shortage of horse equipage. A battery of 3-inch guns was issued in December. 
One Battery Commander Telescope was the only fire control instrument. A 
few 1914 buzzers and signal flags comprised the signal equipment. Although we 
would undoubtedly have progressed far more rapidly had more equipment been 
available, yet by a system devised by the regimental conimander, full advantage 
was taken of the means at hand and important progress was made equally by the 
batteries. 

A regimental school of fire for officers was organized in November, under 
the supervision of Captain Monroe of the French Military Mission. This school 
was merged, on December 6th, with the Brigade School of Fire, which continued 
until a short time before the regiment proceeded overseas. Its value was em- 
phasized to the officers by the ease with which they completed -the course at 
Camp de Souge, France. 

Divisional schools for specialists, a brigade school for non-commissioned

officers, and a regimental liaison school, all aided materially in enabling the 
regiment to function as a unit when it took the field. 

Service firing on the Fort Riley, Kansas, range began on April 16th and 
continued for five weeks, ending with a barrage laid down in front of the trenches 
on Carpenter's Hill, the accuracy of which was praised by Major General Leonard 
Wood, the division commander. 

Regimental colors were presented to the regiment by the State of Colorado 
on .\pv\\ 15th. The presentation took place before 14,000 people that filled the 
Auditorium in Denver, Colorado. Colonel Robert Davis, the regimental 
commander, received the colors for the regiment. Julius C. Gunter, governor 
of Colorado, presented it. The Regimental Band, then on a four week's tour of 
Colorado in the interest of the Second Liberty Loan, played. 

Late in May orders were received to prepare for overseas service. On June 
2nd, the regiment entrained for the port of embarkation. New York. At Camp 
Mills, Long Island, New York, the regiment awaited sailing orders until June 
21st, when it entrained for Boston, Massachussetts. The next day, 
regimental headquarters. Headquarters Company and the First Battalion sailed 



-23— 




%34-U# 




on the H. M. T. Bohemian, and the Second Battalion on the S. S. Laomedon 
via Halifax for London, arriving after a slow uneventful voyage on July 7th. 
Uneventful except for those on the Bohemian, who for two days watched the other 
ships of the convoy slowly gain until they all hut disappeared over the horizon, 
and were only stopped from total desertion by a characteristic message from 
Colonel Davis to the commander of the convoy. Immediately on debarking 
the regiment entrained for Southampton, England, where it remained a day in a 
rest camp, and then sailed for La Har\-e, France. There, after a 24-hour lay- 
over in another rest camp, the regiment entrained for Castalnau de Medoc, near 
Bordeaux, arriving on July 12th. 

On August 3rd the regiment entered the artillery school at Camp de Souge, 
France, for the final training before going to the front. Here all materiel and 
equipment was issued. The first casualties occurred here on the range from the 
bursting of a piece, caused by a premature btirst due to defective ammunition. 
The organization. Battery C, sustaining the casualties, was highly commended 
by the Brigade Commander for the excellent fire discipline displayed by the gun 
crews at the time of the accident. 

Delayed by the scarcity of horses, the regiment did not entrain for the front 
until September 14th. It arrived in Toul on September 1 7th. The next day 
in support of the 89th Divisional Infantry it went into positions on and in front 
of the Beney-St. Benoit road, which lay in the center of the but recently reduced 
St. Mihiel salient. The Regimental P. C. was established in Beney, later 
removing to Pannes, after the enemy had scored a direct hit on the building 
occupied by it, killing three and wounding fi\'e. Afterwards the P. C. was moved 
to Essey. 

Major Ray C. Rutherford was in command of the First Battalion, and iViajor 
Harvey A. Fancher, then captain, commanded the Second Battalion. They 
remained in command until after the armistice was signed. The organizations 
while on the front were commanded as follows: Battery A, Captain Tanner; 
Battery B, Captain Engelhard, later Lieutenant Wallick and Captain Pugh; 
Battery C, Captain Vandergrift; Battery D, Lieutenant Kellog; Battery E, 
Captain Lannigan, then Captain Shafroth, and later Captain Hogan; Battery F, 
Captain Swift and Lieutenant Jones; Headquarters Company, Captain Danforth; 
Supply Company, Captain Greable. Captain Kelsey was regimental surgeon; 
Lieutenant Norman, First Battalion surgeon, and Captain Wilson, Second 
Battalion surgeon. Captain Randel was regimental adjutant. Lieutenant 
Gettenburg was dental surgeon. 

On September 22nd and 23rd the regiment participated in its first raid, a 
raid on Bois Dommartin, which was successful. Three days later, it supported

the infantry in a general raid of the sector, the infantry taking a number of prisoners 
and gaining desired information. 

That part of the sector held by the 42nd Division was taken over by the 
89th Division on September 30th, resulting in a material increase of the front 
covered by the regiment. 

On October 9th the 89th Division infantry withdrew, and the sector was 
taken over by the 37th Division. The reason why the regiment did not follow 
the 89th Division infantry to the Argonne was the scarcity of horses in the 
American E.xpeditionary Forces, and the desire of General Headquarters to keep 
artillery in the front line continuously. 

A gas bombardment of Bois Bonseil was carried out on October 14th and 
again on the following day. A barrage was laid down in front of Haumont at 
the request of an aeroplane. A retaliatory gas bombardment along the entire 
sector was executed on October 1 6th. 

The regiment was attached to the 28th Division on October 18th and remained 
with that organization until November 29th. 

A general raid on Marimbois Farm, Bois Dommartin, Mon Plaisir, by the 
infantry on the morning of October 21st was supported by neutralizing and barrage 
fire laid down by the regiment, A battery of 90 m.m. guns manned by personnel 
of the regiment participated. The raid was successful. Twenty-seven prisoners 
were taken and important information secured. 

The next day the regiment alone supported a raid of the 56th Infantry 
Brigade on Haumont. The infantry occupied the town. A successful raid on 
Bois Dommartin on the morning of October 27th was made under our accompanying 
fire; also on the 28th. A retaliatory gas bombardment of enemy sensitive points 
on the latter day proved successful. 

An infantry raid on Bois Bonseil on November 2nd, resulting in the capture 
of forty-four Gennans, was supported by neutralizing fire and a box barrage. 
Artillery fire on November 3rd to simulate an infantry raid on Bois Bonseil had 
the desired effect, according to reports of prisoners captured later. 

A raid by the infantry on Bois Bonseil, identical with that of November 
2nd, was supported on November 5th. Twenty-seven prisoners were taken. 
Raids on November 6th and 8th in the Bois de Cerf in the divisional sector to 
the left were participated in by the regiment. The mission of the regiment 
was to prevent re-inforcements from Lachausse and to lay down a smoke screen. 

An infantry reconnaissance attack on the village of Dommartin, and raids 
on Bois de Cerf and Bois Bonseil were engaged in on November 9th. 

Orders were received on November 9th to support a general attack planned 
the following morning. The mission was to neutralize hostile machine gun 
fire from the flanks, in addition to putting down standing and rolling barrages to

co\er the advance of the infantry to the Hinclenburg w ire in front of Bois Bonseil. 
The wire was penetrated at one point, but withdrawal was necessary. 

During the night of November 10th, the First Battalion took up an advanced 
position 600 meters from the enemy's main front line in order to support the 
infantry, which was to advance on Hageville and Mars la Tour. At 9.30 hours, 
orders were received to deliver fire at the rate of fifty rounds per piece per hour 
until 10.55 hours, when all fire would cease. This fire was delivered on enemy 
sensitive points. Later an order was received to deliver a burst of fire with 
maximum rapidity for fifty seconds beginning at 10.59 hours. 

It was afterwards learned that the regiment's activities during the week, 
prior to the signing of the armistice on November 1 1 th, were a part of the de\-elop- 
ment of a general attach of the Second American Army on the Briey iron mines, 
with the e\-entual object of capturing Metz. The orders recei\-ed for the 11th 
were of the general attack itself. 

The batteries withdrew from their positions a few days after the armistice 
and were engaged with the conditioning of the men and horses, and re-outfitting 
preparatory to an expected move forward. On No\ember 28th orders were 
received to rejoin the 89th Division. The march into Germany began the next 
morning. 

The route taken lead through Woel, Arvillers, Warcq, Etain, Spincourt, 
Cutry, Longwy, Clemency, the City of Luxembourg, Junglister, Rosport, Bitburg, 
Badem, to Oberkail. The first lay-o\'er was at Junglister at the end of the se\enth 
day. After a rest of one day. the regiment moved forward to Rosport, and on 
the following day, December 7th, crossed into Geimany, stopping for the night 
at Badem. Two days later regimental headquarters and the Second Battalion 
moved to Oberkail. and the First Battalion to Manderscheid. A week later the 
former moved to Dudeldorf and the latter to Pickliessem and Ordorf. Eventually, 
regimental headquarters and the Second Battalion wintered at Speicher, the 
First Battalion Headquarters, and Battery C at Dudeldorf, Battery B at Ordorf, 
and Battery A at Metterick. 

Conditions during the first six weeks spent in Germany were not the best. 
This together with the fact that every member of the command was thinking of 
home, and wanted to go home immediately, creating a feeling of unrest and dis- 
content. Gradually as the lines of communication were improved, supplies for 
the comfort of the men were obtainable. The ration improved until the actual 
issue was identical for the first time with that published in the States. Recreation 
halls and kitchens were built. Amusements, minstrels by the soldiers, and movies, 
were encouraged with success. Athletics were promoted. These improvements 
and diversions, together w ith the granting of leaves and the setting of a definite 
time for sailing for the States, banished the feeling of discontent.

Training was resumed in January and continued until tlie time of entraining 
for the port of embarkation. Service firing under ail kinds of weather conditions 
was had on the range at Nusbaum. During January and February divisional 
liaison problems were held weekly. Weekly practice marches were on the 
program. However, none of the training was carried out to the fullest e.xtent 
on account of the small strength of the batteries, which were depleted by the 
large guard required, by leaves, by illness, and by constant calls for men for 
special duty or detached service. It was not uncommon for a battery to have 
only thirty men for duty. It was absolutely impossible for this small number 
of, men to care for the horses and materiel and prepare for the numerous 
inspections and at the same time go through a training schedule. 

Although when the regiment was organized, the men were drawn from only 
four states, yet on April 4, 1919, members of the regiment were from thirty-four 
states and one foreign country. Following is a list showing the states and the 
number of men from each: Colorado, b57; Missouri, 1^0; South Dakota. 164; 
New York, 84; Illinois, 59; Wisconsin, 35; Ohio, 29; Nebraska, 24; Louisiana, 
19; Iowa, 17; Connecticut, 17; Kansas, 14; New Mexico, 12; Minnesota, 11; 
Pennsylvania, 11; Michigan, 8; Texas, 7; Oklahoma, 7; Kentucky, 7; New- 
Jersey, 6; Indiana, 6; Massachusetts, 5 ; North Carolina, 5 ; Mississippi, 4; West 
Virginia, 4; South Carolina, 4; Alabama, 3; California, 3 ; Florida, 3 ; Washington, 
Wyoming Arizona, Maine, Tennessee, 1 each. One man claimed Paris, France, 
as his residence. 

On April 23rd, the regiment as a unit of the 89th Di\ision was reviewed at 
the Aviation Field, at Treves, by General Pershing. Here the men received 
compliments from General Pershing and General Donnelly upon the excellent 
condition of the horses and materiel, which bespoke hard work. 

Immediately after the review, we commenced turning in equipment and 
materiel, ending with the final good-bye to the horses. 

One-half of the regiment entrained at Erdorf for Brest, France, on May 8th, 
and the other half on the following day. Three days in the bo.x-cars, two days 
at the embarkation camp at Brest spent in being deloused and undergoing 
physical examinations, and we boarded the S.S. Agamemnon. The next day. 
May !6th. at noon, the ship weighed anchor and the regiment was homeward 
bound. Although crowded, conditions were much better than on the trip to 
France. The "chow" was not served abundantly, but it was clean. 

On May 24th we sailed up New "^'ork Harbor, docking at Hoboken, New 
Jersey. The next morning found the Regiment at Camp Upton, Long Island, 
New "^'ork. Another delousing and the men were ready for segregation into 
detachments for the various camps where they were to be discharged. Regimental 
headquarters was sent to Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming.

Headquarters Company 

HEADQUARTERS Compan\-, an organization of many officers, sergeant 
majors, color sergeants, sergeants, musicians, corporals, cooks, clerks, 
chauffeurs, orderlies and privates, serves no other purpose than to knit 
the batteries together and enable the regiment to function as a whole. The 
scope of its duties is general and \ague, not specific. Its duties do not permit 
its Viorking as a unit. Rather they require that it be an organization of indi\-iduals, 
most of them specialists, who work more or less indi\idually and are forced to 
assume varying degrees of responsibility. 

To build such an organization, Lieutenant Tabbert, the first commanding 
officer, was given on September 5th three men from the Regular Army, one a 
band leader. On September 7th the first recruits were received, a few men 
assigned, either because of their musical ability or special qualifications. Shortly 
afterwards a nondescript lot of recruits, farmers, miners, cow-punchers, clerks, 
butchers, and bakers in civilian life, were added. Those were all from Colorado 
and formed the nucleus of the company. On October 12th fifty-three men from 
South Dakota were assigned. Three days later twenty-four Missourians came 
from the lb4th Depot Brigade. As these men were assigned, they went through 
the usual process of a cold bath, new ill-fitting clothing, medical examination, 
and immunization from typhoid and small-pox. The cold bath will always be 
remembered, for it was really cold and it ideally prepared them for other unavoid- 
able disagreeable ways of the Army. 

\\ ithout delay a start on the lengthy training schedule, necessary to mold 
civilians into soldiers capable of filling the specialists' jobs of an artillery regiment 
was made. First through the school of the soldier, where the left foot figured so 
prominently, these men passed. After they were more or less familiar with foot 
work, military courtesies, hygiene, the Articles of War, and work in the specialists' 
details began. Did a man know anything about the telephone, the radio, signalling, 
or scout duty!' It was safe to assume that if he did not show promise of learning 
quickly, he would be weeded out and sent to some other outfit. 

This training was punctuated by long hikes, inspections, and physical 
inspections, such as only the ingenuity of the Army Medic is capable. 

Along in the winter of 1917-18 we recei\ed what seemed at that time an 
a\alanche of equipment — buzzers, flags, telephones, and one Battery Commanders 
Telescope. Te.xt books on all military subjects were all times easily available. 
The long wooden barracks was the scene of much activity during the winter 
e\enings. Buglers practiced unmolested, future radio experts monkied with

their buzzers, and semaphore enthusiasts waved their sticks around. At times 
there was sufficient activity to drive the "gold-bricks" from their bunks to seek 
other places that offered more rest and quietness. 

We boasted of a football team. To the men it was apparently invincible- 
It put up a good fight for the regimental championship, it requiring two games 
for the champions to push it back into second place. The championship game 
was hard-fought, not entirely bloodless. There was some feeling between the 
organizations represented. That evening the winning battery endeavored to 
parade through Headquarter's barracks bearing its silver trophy. The triumphal 
march was cut suddenly short hy physical force and the head of the column 
turned homeward. 

Along with the routine uork there often showed up strong exidence of pleasure 
and cheer. Probably the outstanding event of good cheer was the Thanksgiving 
dinner. How many turkeys '""-v many "G. I.'s ' full of salad, mince meat, 
how many boxes of cigars aii^ :ttes were provided for that occasion, only 

the mess sergeant knew. Civilians who attended that feast must have carried 
away highly colored ideas of life in the National Army. 

For two months, during the fall of 1017, the company had four horses. Every 
day these four horses were surrounded by the entire personnel, who took turns 
in grooming by detail, saddling, unsaddling, feeding, and watering. Periodical 
issues finally brought the number of horses up to authorized strength. 
These horses w ere not all broken. Frequently riding exhibitions would be staged 
by our cow-punchers. We learned to ride like a soldier without saddle or bridle. 
Each ride caused a new gait in the marching of the enlisted men, at least until 
the blisters had disappeared. Watering was nearly as pleasant as learning to 
ride. The nearest available water was a mile away. Each man would start 
out to water, leading four or five horses. Sometimes he returned with that 
number and sometimes he did not. During the zero weather watering was the 
cause of frozen feet, ears and faces. It was a typical cold raw wind of Kansas 
that the men faced as they came back from watering. 

Captain Danforth assumed command on March 1 1 , 1918. Immediately began 
the organization of the regimental and two battalion details; no easy task, when 
it is remembered that there were no precedents and no specific instrtictions as to 
the exact duties of the details while in action. This condition arose because 
of the ever-changing mode of fighting on the front. For example, we would 
learn one formation of the detail going into action, only to be told shortly after- 
wards that that formation was wrong, and that so-and-so was now the correct 
formation, as prescribed in the latest circular from Fort Sill. And so it went. 
Captain Danforth had much to contend with; he fought against us, for us, and 
with us. We have made a record we can look back upon w ith pride 






For the maneuvers at Camp Funston, we installed a complete telephone 
system. What care was taken in stringing the wires in the approved manner. 
We huilt a reel cart which worked at a walk, but not faster. We learned the 
parallel and the "P-T" method: the difference between sight and site; all about 
co-ordinates, scouting and route marking. 

Our trip to the Atlantic Coast in tourist cars we believed to be a hardship. 
At that time we didn't know what hardship and discomfort were. Those crowded 



iS'orraL 




ounz 



tourist cars, with a kitchen in an express cai' ahead, made an outing when com- 
pared to our railway journeys in France in the renown troop cars, with each 
man carrying his own "chow", hard bread and "wooly". 

Eventually we arrived at Castelnau, France, ending our three weeks trip 
with a forced march, full pack. While waiting to enter Camp de Souge, we 
were busy learning the intricacies of the new fire control instruments, but not 
to the extent that we failed to pick up a little French and Vin Blanc, the latter 
causing a few to stray from the straight and narrow path. 

The six w eeks at Camp de Souge taught tis more of detail work, the mysteries 









of the "75 m.m.," and the horrors of gas. The impression after the armistice 
was that the actual gas was little worse than the measures of prevention. Those 
gas masks were so comfortable! 

One year from the day when most of the company reported for duty, after 
a forty-kilometer hike through French rain and mud, which left the men and 
horses exhausted, we first learned the awful possibilities of artillery fire. As 
we stood shivering in the rain, waiting to go into camp near Beney, word came 
that one shell had killed Corporals Blaisdell and Lines and Private Trujillo, and 
wounded Lieutenants Kemp and Oakes, Sergeant Wherrett, Mechanic Stumme 
and Private Walter, all from our company, except Lieutenant Kemp. This 
costly lesson taught us the menace of "Jerry's" artillery and thereafter all were 
wary and escaped without casualties, except Private Keehn, who was nipped in 
the shoulder by a sharpshooter as he wandered into "No Man's Land " carrying 
a Battery Commanders telescope. 

On the front the company was split. The regimental detail was stationed 
at Pannes, the First Battalion detail at Beney, then at LaMarche, andthe Second 
Battalion detail at Beney and later at St. Benoit. 

We laid, maintained and operated the telephone net under all circumstances. 
If the service was not that of a city, we felt that some one had fallen down. We 
conducted reglages for our batteries with the planes by our radio. We acted 
as ohser\ers at the Observation Posts. Our men of the liaison detail lived up 
with the "Doughboys " continuously. We drew maps. We uere messengers. 
We did all that a headquarters company is supposed to do, many times more. 

With the signing of the armistice, details which had been on special duties 
returned to their detachments. Long days of rest followed with nothing to 
do, except prepare for the long hike into Germany, exercising the horses and 
drawing new equipment. The telephone net was maintained, but no longer 
were the linemen routed out at any time on a minute's notice to repair a break. 

On November 2Qth the detachments were consolidated for the march 
toward the Rhine. A tiring eleven days with the cooks, bearing by far the heaviest 
burden, and we found ourselves in Oberkail, Germany. Resting here long enough 
to install a telephone system, we moved to Dudeldorf, thence to Speicher, leaving 
the First Battalion detachment behind. 

Our duties at Speicher were routine. enli\ened only by the service firing 
on the Nusbaum range when we laid and maintained the telephone net and acted 
as range guards. At the Ib4th Field Artillery Brigade horse show, held at Bitburg, 
we won first place in the Forgon class, second place with our reel cart, and third 
in the enlisted men's saddle class. Later we captured second place at both the 
89th Division and the Seventh Corps horse shows in the enlisted men's saddle 
class.

Perhaps it will excite a little jealousy, but from pride we are forced to mention 
the inspection of the Speicher organizations by General Donnelly, when he, at 
the conclusion of the inspection, advised the use of Headquarters Company as 
the model in preparation for the Corps inspection. 

We are proud that we were members of Headquarters Company, and the 
record that it made during its life, especially on the front.

The Band 

THE 341st Field Artillery Band not only has the distinction of being the 
first band organized in the 89th Division, hut also has the reputation of 
being one of the best. In addition to playing for the regiment at retreat 
revieus, and other formations, it was greatly in demand for outside concerts' 
filling engagements in many of the cities in Kansas and touring Colorado in the 
interest of the Liberty Loan. Overseas it was attached for si.x weeks to Evac- 
uation Hospital No. 1, near Toul, where its music was heard and enjoyed by 
many thousand wounded. 

To Lieutenant Colonel Gottschalk is the credit for its early organization 
and rapid progress. Its first attempt uas made on September 21st two weeks 
after the regiment uas organized, when it played for retreat, the "Star-Spangled 
Banner being rendered by six men. Mr. Faber of the military band stationed 
at hort Logan, Colorado, was transferred and appointed band leader Lee M 
Lockhart uas assistant hand leader. Men of musical abilitv were sought 
throughout the regiment and even the division. Colonel Gottschalk would 
hear of a man that had once blovxn a horn. Immediately, if that man proved 
uorth while, efforts uould he made to effect his transfer. These efforts usually 
proxed successful. At our morning and afternoon rehearsals the Commanding 
Officer uas invariably present. Instruments were either furnished by the members 
themseh-es or bought by the fund raised among the officers. 

On October 6th, the first concert was gixen in •■^'■' Hut No 9 We now 
numbered twenty. Shortly afterwards from the second contingent Dick Smith 
eventually band leader, John Cameron, Denxers well-known drummer, and Gene 
btuchberry, helicon, were added. Two weeks after the initial concert the first 
trip was taken, a concert being given in the Presbyterian Church at Manhattan 
Kansas. Music tor the Soldiers-Sailors football game at Kansas City was to 
have been furnished by us, but the train wreck at Topeka prevented However 
we played for the Funston-Dodge game at Omaha. During February March' 
April and May, the band was on the road much of the time Concerts were 
^'Tau^," ^^^^"^"- Junction City, Fort Riley, Wichita, Cottonwood Falls 
and Abilene. At ^ ichita, in three concerts, the Red Cross netted $3 000 During 
April, fifteen musicians were lost, nominally. The strength being over twentN- 
eight, the regulation, the surplus musicians were transferred to batteries and 
detailed on special duty with the band. This condition was remedied by the 
regulation increasing the strength to forty-nine. 

At the request of the Colorado Liberty Loan Committee, the hand toured 



v: 








Colorado in the interest of the Liberty Loan, playing fifty concerts throughout 
the state and netting more than $5,000 for the regimental fund. This tour began 
on April 1 5th under the charge of Chaplain Griffith with Mr. Weatherwax, later 
Lieutenant Weatherwax. then of the Y. M. C. A., as advance agent, and lasted 
for twenty-five days. 

May 30th, Decoration Day, was our last engagement in the United States, 
playing at Manhattan. 

At Camp Mills, Long Island, New York, the embarkation camp, Lieutenant 
Weatherwax took charge of the band. Mi". Faber was transferred for dutv in the 




yAc> 3andJ^/aijmo atBasp7/o}p}ta[J}^o..

United States, and Dick Smith promoted to band leader. Tom Weatherwax, 
afterwards assistant band leader, was assigneci here. The trip across was 
enjoyable, notwithstanding the English "slum", dodging submarines, and wearing 
cork harness, also "close those port-holes." 

Leaving La Harve, France, for Castelnau in a downpour of rain, the band 
was snapped by an enterprising photographer, his pictures appearing in the 
"Literary Digest" of September 28th, in Lyon & Healy's advertisement, in 
November "Populai" Mechanics." and also in the mo\'ies. While waiting at 



-40— 




^>^^-- 



Castelnau to enter Camp de Souge, daily concerts were given, attended equally 
by the French and the men of the regiment. Band concerts were the social 
e\-ents of the life there. The "Hell Cats" put in their appearance at Castelnau. 

A sudden change in their treatment was noticed by the musicians when they 
first hit the front on September 17th, but they were game and made the best 
of it. Leaving Toul on that day after a "bully beef" breakfast, we spent the 
night at Grosrou%ers. There the quartermaster department grabbed us for 
horse details, but only for one day. We rejoined the regiment that night, and 
in Beney Woods a new tune was learned w ithout rehearsals, "The Song of the 
Shells;" likewise "hostile fire" made itself known. 

There until detached and sent to the Evacuation Hospital, we musicians 
were roustabouts and handy men. Whenever any extra men were needed for 
special work, "grab a bandman" was heard. \\e laid telephone lines, dug 
dugouts, filled sand bags, cooked, carried messages, and acted as gas sentries. 
There was no band. On September 28th we were ordered to Lucy to undergo 
intensi\'e training, preparatory to being sent to the Evacuation Hospital. We 
then went to the Hospital, where concerts were given daily until NoN'ember 
12th for several thousand wounded. Again with the regiment, the hike to 
Germany was started on No\ember 29th. Through "No Man's Land" 
and miles of devasted France, through Luxemburg, and finally into Germany 
the band played the regiment. 

The monotony of the life in Germany was alleviated somewhat by the band's 
music. Thousands of little "square-heads" also enjoyed our music. We played 
for the Seventh Corps Headquarters, at Wittlich. for two weeks, cheered the 
89th Division football team on to victory over the 4th Division at Coblenz, 
and furnished the orchestra and quartette for the 341st Field Artillery Jazz 
Minstrels, the first show to go on the road in the .Armx' of Occupation.

Battery A 

"31" 

ON September 5, 1917, Battery A was organized. Captain Howard R. K. 
Tompkins was in command. The other officers were First Lieutenant 
Harry A. Holman and Second Lieutenants Erwin M. Jones and Ralph 
G. Bulkley. Before these officers lay the task of making soldiers of the men 
who were coming from ci\ilian life and knew nothing of militarism. 

During the next six weeks there was a continuous flow of recruits to the 
battery, all coming from civilian life and therefore sadly in need of the foot-work, 
which had the limelight in the training schedule. 

Battery A that fall carried off the first regimental competition, winning 
the baseball championship and securing possession of a trophy cup. 

The middle of November, foot-work lost its prestige to the school of the 
soldier mounted. We had sixteen horses for the entire battery to equitate on. 
Ridden without saddles or bridles, hardly a day passed without an exhibition of 
broncho busting, which a number of times resulted in the horse being victor 
by a wide margin. 

On November 28th Captain Tompkins was relie\'ed from command and 
sent to the School of Fire at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Captain Greable assuming 
command. The latter was relieved on December 9th by Lieutenant Holman, 
who remained in command until the return of Captain Tompkins on February 23rd. 

A number of the men were fortunate in securing leaves for the Thanksgiving, 
Christmas, and New Year's holidays. The large majority that stayed in 
camp were not forgotten, the cooks driving away home-sickness by dinners that 
made one seek his bunk for comfort after partaking. Many of the men were 
spending their first Christmas away from home and the presents received from 
the home folks and the Red Cross were much needed. 

January, 1918, was the "hoodoo" month, measles and mumps striking 
Battery A hard and sending more than half of the men to hospitals and isolation 
camps. The remainder, the healthy, found their work doubled. It was not an 
unusual sight to see one man leading or rather striving to lead, against the Kansas 
bleak winds, twelve or sixteen horses to the Kansas River, a mile distant. At 
each watering, holes had to be cut in the ice. 

The middle of April brought the most interesting part of the training schedule. 
For seven months we had marched and counter-marched, had "stables" 
practiced on the field pieces and taken examinations on the drill regulations. 
It was monotonous. So after se\en months of this fundamental, tiresome training.

three hundred rounds of ammunition was issued for firing. As most of the men 
had never seen a piece fired before, it was to them a novelty as well as interesting. 
In the service firing actual conditions were followed as nearly as possible, the 
officers and men feeling at the conclusion well repaid for the arduous efforts 
of the early training. 

On June 2nd at 4:30 p. m., after two weeks of preparation, we entrained 
for Camp Mills, Long Island, New York. The journey in all was pleasant, stops 
being made at least once a day for exercise, which usually consisted of a short 
march through the streets of some city. We arrived at Jersey City on the morning 
of June 5th, were ferried across to Long Island City, and taken to Camp Mills 
by train, reaching there at 6.30 p. m. We spent sixteen days in Camp Mills, 
during which time passes to visit New York, Brooklyn, Long Island and Coney 
Island were libei-ally granted. At Camp Mills the battery, having been reduced 
by many transfers, was filled to war strength by replacements from Camp Upton. 

After having been issued more equipment until our barrack bags were packed 
to the uttermost, and undergone a number of physical examinations, we en- 
trained Friday evening, June 21st, for the port of embarkation which, as suspected,

proved to he Boston, Massachussetts. Detraining at Boston, we immediately 
hoarded the "Bohemia," each man being given a card entitling him to a hammock 
and a place at the mess tables. At twelve o'clock sharp, the ship weighed anchor 
and we were off to take our part in the theatre of the great war. 

The day was extremely disagreeable, drizzly and raw. Going down the 
harbor the hay was quite choppy, and as soon as we were out in the open sea 
we commenced to buck the worst sea of the entire \-oyage. The maiden voyage 
for nearly all, sea legs were unknown, so when we slipped into Halifax thirty- 
six hour later, the agonies of sea sickness were generally known by experience. 
At Halifax we laid at anchor for thirty-one hours, waiting for the other ships 
of the con\oy. Here some of the officers went ashore and secured a canteen 
stock, which was a boon the rest of the trip. 

Something should be said about the "Bohemia." An English freighter, 
before being pressed into service as a transport, had been a cattle boat. Con- 
veniences were lacking. When we boarded it, it was filthy. However, after 
continued scrubbing and washing it pro\ed habitable. The mess was in keeping 
with the condition of the boat. It was in charge of an English negro, whose sole 
knowledge of cooking was slum. Fortunate for him, our cooks took over the

mess eventually, so that no longer did our stomachs have to fight the con\ulsions 
of sea-sickness and the knowledge of most insanitary cooking. 

There were nine boats in the convoy, which was lead by an English converted 
cruiser. Sub-chasers followed us until we were out of sight of land. Through 
many schools of fish we zigzagged our way along, keeping an an.xious eye out 
for submarines, passing the time away by boxing and wrestling and band concerts, 
until finally on the horizon we picked up the smoke of the destroyers that were 
to accompany and guard us on the last leg of the voyage. The gun sections 
manned the lone piece on the boat fortunately never tested their marksmanship, 
being content with listening to the stories of the English gunner. 

We steamed up the Thames River in the early morning of July 7th, docking 
at (■■ 00 a. m. at Tilbury, London. Big posters urging speed in unloading to increase 
the movement of supplies and American soldiers abroad, showing the high esteem 
and confidence of England in the efforts of the United States, covered the docks. 
A night at Southampton, a night on the old channel side-wheeler, "Monas Queen," 
and we at La Havre, on French soil. Three days later, our 5,000 mile Journey 
ended at Castelnau, a small village in the heart of the wine country. 

At Castelnau, Captain Roscoe W. Tanner was placed in command of the 
organization, relieving Captain Tompkins, who was assigned to Headquarters. 
First Lieutenant James A. Fitzgerald was assigned, In our new battery com- 
mander, whom we did not know at that time, we found later, by actual experience 
and personal contact, a leader and a man in every sense of the word. He always 
endeavored to fulfill successfully the missions given him. At all times he had 
the interest, welfare and comfort of his men at heart, and never asked a man 
to do anything or go anywhere that he himself would not do or go. In the face 
of danger he proved himself cool and revealed ability to think. 

We stayed at Castelnau for two weeks before entering Camp de Souge, 
On entering Camp de Souge our training was more systematic and rigorous than 
ever before. Pieces and caissons and full detail equipment was received. 
Lieutenant Holman, as executive, organized the gun crews and reliefs and super- 
vised the drill on the French "75 m.m's," As the "75 mm," gun drill was 
distinctly different from that of the American three-inch piece, strenuous efforts 
were necessary. Lieutenant Fitzgerald was placed in command of the Battery 
Commander's detail, which was sadly in need of thorough instruction. By 
careful and patient instruction, he succeeded in bringing the detail up to standard. 
The results obtained on the front by these two important departments of the 
battery revealed the wisdom of selecting these two officers for the training. The 
battery fired 1,467 rounds on the range, participating in the brigade barrage. 
The drivers at Camp de Souge, previously having learned the nomenclature 
and fitting of the American harness, found that French harness was to be used

which fact meant hard work. First Sergeant George B. McClelian, who haci 
held that rank since the organization of the battery, was sent to the Officers" 
Training Camp at Samur on August 29th. At the conclusion of the six weeks 
of training at Camp de Souge, the battery was completely equipped and ready 
for actual service. 

We left Camp de Souge at 9:15 p. m., September I3th, loading at Bonnau, 
four kilometers distant, our train pulling out at 6:00 a. m. and arriving at 
Toul the morning of September 1 7th. Unloading immediately we started for 
the front, filling the caissons and limbers with ammunition enroute, arriving 
at Essey at two hours the 18th, where we went into camp. The next morning 
at 9.15 hours, we pulled into our first position in the Bois de Beney, one kilometer 
north of Beney. We were busy that day, digging gun emplacements and ammu- 
nition pits, camouflaging, and establishing communication. Our first echelon 
was three kilometers to the rear. After moving a number of times the echelon 
was finally established back of Bouillonville, much to the relief of the drivers, who 
were thoroughly tired bringing up supplies to the battery and moving at the same 
time. 

Our first shot was fired the morning of the 19th in adjustment by aeroplane. 
On the evening of this day the first section gun crew relieved Battery C from 
the anti-tank gun in the front lines. The machine gun used with the anti- 
tank piece was put out of action by enemy shell fire without mishap to the 
machine gunners. From the start the enemy had our first position located, 
shelling it intermittently without material effect. Our linemen here had their 
first experience of repairing wires under shell fire. On September 23rd we fired 
our first barrage, from 4.15 to 6 hours, covering an infantry raid on Bois Dom- 
martin, which netted twenty-six prisoners. The signal for "cease firing" had 
ju3t been gi\^en when "Heinle" opened up with all calibres up to "210's". Shells 
burst all around the position, but no casualties resulted. The crews of nearby 
batteries were forced to seek shelter. That night, to our relief, orders were 
received to move. Passing through Beney under gas fire, we pulled into the 
new position near Bouillonville in a downpour of rain at 2.30 hours. The pieces 
were immediately laid. Number One selected for minor missions was emplaced 
some distance from the other pieces to prevent discovery of the position. A 
kitchen was established near the position, and from that time on until the armistice 
we did not have to depend upon the echelon for food . 

We participated in the big barrage on the morning of September 26th, which 
marked the beginning of the Meuse-Argonne drive. As we ceased firing eight 
enemy bombers, flying low, circled around the position, dropping small bombs 
and using machine guns, but without effect. The next four days the battery

carried out a number of small missions, with Dampvitoux, Dommartin, Haumont 
and Marimhois Farm as object i\'es. 

The last of September we took up our third position, relieving Battery D, 
151st Field Artillery, of the 42nd Division. This position in the woods to the 
south of St. Benoit was prepared for the winter and was occupied until shortly 
before the armistice. The echelon had left Bouillon\ille and was now between 
Nonsard and Vigneulles, where it remained until the march into Germany began. 

Lieutenant Fitzgerald was transferred on October 5th to a training camp 
as an instructor. Lieutenant Phillips being assigned. 

From the position in the woods, we fired on Dampxitoux for adjustment 
and demolition. Haumont and Dommartin for demolition, and on Bois Dommartin, 
Bois Bonseil. Marimbois Farm, and de Champ Fontaine with harassing fire. 
The ranges were long, between 6,000 and 7,300 meters. Adjustments were 
made daily, usually by Lieutenant Holman. We were tricked in firing a barrage 
on October bth. Our lookout saw a rocket barrage signal set up from the front 
lines. Immediately the battery answered and was firing when a number of 
"Boche" planes appeared overhead. Lieutenant Holman, calling Battalion 
Headquarters, had his suspicions confirmed that the signal was a fake, sent 
up by the "Boche". Firing ceased before the planes located the position. 
In addition to the before mentioned demolition and harassing fire, the battery 
participated in a number of barrages, did counter-battery work, and fired on enemy 
strong points: trenches, machine gtin emplacements and "pill boxes". 

The afternoon of No\ember 8th, we were ordered to take up a position 
between Thiaucourt and Jaulny on a hillside, 1 ,200 meters from the enemy and 
under direct observation. Going into position that e\ening, trucks of the 314th 
Ammunition Train blocked the road where it doubled back up the hill, holding 
up the column. "Heinie" was shelling the road rather heavily and all that we 
could do was to stand and take it. Battery C, which was immediately ahead of 
of us, suffered casualties while we did not. On reaching the position it was 
found that the second platoon was lost. It did not get into position until the 
the next morning, just in time for a gassing. Eight men. Sergeants Boyd, Braun- 
stein and Christensen, Corporals Buchanan and Chavez, and Privates Harris, 
Lammers, O'Hare and Zuhlke, were gassed and were evacuated. Fortunately 
a heavy fog concealed the position all during the day, preventing enemy obser- 
vation. He was forced to be content with harassing fire. At 18.00 hours we 
moved out of that precarious position to St. Benoit. 

The next morning we pulled in near Louisville Farm and laid the pieces 
for what proved to be the last firing. The road was crowded with infantrymen 
going forward and all sorts of transportation. It was evident that an immense 
drive was ready to be launched. That morning we laid a barrage for the infantry

attack on the Hindenburg wire in addition to firing on enemy sensitive points. 
During the last minute of firing, the Number Three piece, with Corporal Prost 
as "Number One", and Private Farrar as "Number Two", fired fourteen in 
twenty-five seconds. 

After the armistice, until November 21st, all the men except a gun guard 
were at the echelon. On that date the pieces were taken back to the echelon and 
once more was the battery all together. On November 29th we started the march 
into Germany. Every night of the march, the men had billets, except the second 
night spent near Warcq in the open field. That morning before the men could 
pull on their shoes, the shoes had to be thawed out. 

The battery arrived in Badem on December 7th, thence going to Mander- 
scheid, a summer resort in the mountains. On December 14th we moved to 
Pickliessem, thence to Dudeldorf. Our billets in Dudeldorf were good and the 
conditions not unpleasant considering the circumstances. For Christmas and 
New Year's dinners we fared on pork, which was a most enjoyable substitute for 
turkey. On February 25th Battery A took possession of Metterick, remaining 
there until departure for the port of embarkation. 

After New Year's passes were given to Trier, and later to Coblenz, Germany, 
enabling almost every man in the battery to see the wonders of the River Rhine. 
Following these came passes to Paris and to leave centers in the picturesque 
and famous Southern France. During the winter we engaged in a number of 
maneuvers and fired on the range. Inspections were frequent, the most dreaded, 
the corps inspection, being successfully surmounted on April 9th. 

The one command that the battery is anxiously awaiting is the one that will 
start the journey to an honorable discharge and home.

Battery B 

"32"' 

WHEN Battery B finally rcachcxl that stage in its development that it 
could be called a fighting unit, it had acquired the sobriquet of "Galloping 
Battery B", a name which still clings and of which the men are proud. 
Back in the beginning of our life at Camp Funston, when regimental hikes, 
maneuvers and reviews were virtually a daily event, the other batteries would fall 
out fully an hour before Battery B, in order to be punctual at formations. That 
is how we acquired our name, a name which we believe we lived up to in every 
sense of the word while on active service. 

To be candid, there is one joke on the battery which is one of the best, if 
not the best, in the regiment. The war department had issued a number of 
old "3.2 point" field pieces for training purposes. The regiment secured two, 
which were merely tubes mounted on wheels. They were placed in front of 
regimental headquarters and were for decorative purposes only. In the spring, 
during service firing from Morris Hill, Battery B was scheduled to fire. Our teams 
drove up to regimental headquarters, hitched on to the "3.2's" and galloped out 
to the range, arriving just at the time firing was ordered to commence. Colonel 
Davis, in charge of the firing, took just one look as we galloped up. For an 
instant he looked as if he would have a number of things to say. Instead, on 
second thought, he merely turned to Captain Englehard and said with a smile, 
"Take them back." 

While at Camp Funston guards were made up of men from all organizations. 
Orderlies at regimental headquarters were selected each day from the guard, 
being chosen in the usual system, namely, for their neatness, cleanliness and 
soldierly appearance. Battery B has the enviable record of furnishing twenty- 
one consecuti\e orderlies.

We left Camp de Souge, France, on the morning of September 14, 1918, 
bound for the front. Arriving in Toul on the afternoon of the 1 7th, we immediately 
detrained, and although the men and horses were fatigued, began the memorable 
hike to Pannes, thirty-two kilometers distant. Before noon of the ne.xt day, 
despite the crowded traffic conditions, we had passed through Flirey, Essey, and 
were in Pannes. It was on this march that we first learned the enormity and 
character of traffic immediately in the rear of the front lines. Infantry under full 
pack, aimoured motors, tanks, artillery, both horse-drawn and motorized, camions, 
limousines, side-cars and ambulances, formed an apparent endless procession on 
the road, all returning from the front. Occasionally we would he halted by some 



—59— 





accident that had blocked the road temporarily. Once we came upon a heavy 
French siege gun, which had evidently failed to brake, for it had run down its 
team, killing and injuring both horses and men. 

Several hours out from Toul we drew ammunition, filling our caissons and 
limbers. It was then dark, and we could distinguish the actual front by the 
signals and gun flashes. Everyone was thinking of one thing. When and where 
will we halt and have that much needed rest. 

Scouts found a watering place, which we reached at two oclock in a downpour 
of rain. Here the horses were watered and feed, and hot "chow" dished out. 
Lights were forbidden, which handicapped our mo\ements. During the tv\o- 




hours halt little real rest was obtained. Three horses v\ere abandoned on account 
of exhaustion. 

At daybreak we arrived at Flirey, which was completely in ruins, having 
been the center of a fierce fight three days previous, when the St. Mihiel salient 
was reduced by the First American Army. Dead horses along the roadside, 
newly made graves, shell holes, large and small, ruined fields and buildings, and 
maze of wire entanglements and old trench systems, could be seen from here. 






The signs of a very recent battle were clearly in evidence. We passed abandoned 
German batteries, destroyed machine gun nests and hastily dug trenches — every 
one the scene of that minor fighting which altogether make a battle. The ruins 
of "Gas Hollow" looked e\en more desolate than it really was to us plodding 
along through French mud in a drizzling rain, nearly exhausted. 

Pannes, at last! There we went into park, pitched our "pup" tents, and 
crawled in with \'isions of a good rest. Our dreams were dissipated the ne.xt 
minute by an order from "Immemorial 1". stating that we must go into position 
at once north of Beney, which lay about three kilometers north of Pannes. 

In the execution of the order, the Battery Commander detail, under 
Lieutenant Kemp, was di\ided into groups of three men each, with orders to 
report at Beney at fifteen-minute inter\als. The first group rode to a place 
near Beney Woods, and met Captain Englehard. then commanding. 

Lieutenant Kemp was ordered to report to regimental headquarters to get 
a battle map of the sector. He took the first group, and w hen w ithin two hundred 
meters of the Eene\' crossroads "Jerry" opened up on our "Number One", 
which was then at the crossroads. It was the first experience of any of Battery 
B under shell-fire. It seemed odd to see the "Doughboys" flop whenever a 
shell was apparently coming near. That habit was soon learned, howe\er, without 
any drill or instruction. The piece was not hit and proceeded on its way to 
take up its position. The group under Lieutenant Kemp rode on to the Post of 
Command, arrixing just before a "1 50 mm." struck the roof ot the Post of Com- 
mand, killing three and wounding fi\e, wounding Lieutenant Kemp. We 
took to the dugout until the shelling ceased and then returned to the battery 
position, reporting the first casualty, the reconnaissance officer. 

The pieces were placed into position by Lieutenants Wea\er and Osborne 
without mishap. Lieutenants Wallick and Allen had charge of the combat 
train, which went into echelon about one kilometei" from the battery position 
at the edge of the woods on a slope which o\erlooked Beney and the enemy. 
No one apparently knew just exactly where the front line was, so we did not 
know that the echelon was in direct observation of the enemy. The first night 
the entire regiment was echeloned there, all mo\ing the next night farther to the 
rear on disco\ering that they were under hostile observation. 

Comforts were not expected at first. The men made no effort to scout around 
for places to sleep. Blankets spread upon the wet ground sufficed for bunks. 
And the men slept well, despite the mud and water and the enemy's shelling. 

Our first position was located near the crossing of two unimproved roads 
at the southern extremity of the Beney Woods. It was along these roads that 
the infantry brought up its supplies and reliefs. This fact, together with three 
other batteries within a one-hundred meter radius, made a most desirable 



■—/^ 




objective for the Germans. Battery A of this regiment was on our right, and 
B and E of the 151st Field Artillery on the left. 

We began making our position peimanent. Trenches were dug beside the 
pieces for protection of the gun crews. Ammunition was stored in dumps nearby 
in the brush and carefully camouflaged. To improve the roads, to permit 
ammunition and supplies to be hauled to the position, a corduroy road of white- 
barked saplings was built. It made an excellent target, and "Heinie" took 
advantage of it, adjusting the same day with "210's m.m." His adjustment 
was too good in our opinion, securing both overs and shorts. Some of the men 
believe that the adjustment was made by an aeroplane bearing an allied insignia, 
which hovered suspiciously around all through the adjustment. The next two 
days we were shelled intermittently by the Germans, playing havoc with our 
telephone lines, but causing no casualties. On the morning of the fifth day we 
fired a five-hour barrage under shell-fire. The supply of ammunition at the 
guns ran low and necessitated carrying the shells from the ammunition dumps 
to the guns under most difficult conditions. When the order, "Cease firing" 
was given, we were compelled to abandon our position temporarily and seek 
protection in the thick woods nearby. We changed position that night. Our 
new position was situated five hundred meters north of the wrecked railroad 
bridge north of Bouillonville and was ideal. The slope of the hill on which 
the battery was placed was sufficient to afford a good solid emplacement and 
at the same time flash defilade. We remained in this position for a week; and 
from here firing on the morning of September 26th a seven-hour and twenty min- 
ute barrage, which marked the beginning of the Argonne offensive. Our infantry 
made no attack under this barrage. 

Our third position was situated in the heart of Beney Woods, about two 
kilometers south of the first position. At this position the platoons were 
separated about two hundred meters. Undergrowth and trees around the pieces 
were such that camouflage was hardly necessary. The kitchen was located 
in an old Getman building five hundred meters in front of the pieces. Dugouts 
were constructed; pits were dug for the guns; in fact, everything possible was 
done to make the position comfortable for the winter for we had information 
that there was every possibility of our remaining there for a number of months. 
A sawmill nearby was the convenient source of all lumber used. A railroad was 
built from the kitchen to the trunk line running to Lamarche and Pannes. Over 
this branch ammunition and supplies were brought up, saving much time and 
work. The tallest tree in the woods, not more than five hundred meters distant 
from the battery, was used as an Observation Post, a platform capable of holding 
four observers, reached by a built-in ladder, being built in its top. 

A word about the gun crews. With foresight in the e\ent of casualties, 






ic-»- 



the men were trained in the duties of all the cannoneers, svhich proved a boon 
in forming reliefs to serve the pieces. Adjustments with precision were made 
daily. It was Battery B firing its first problem of demolition from this position 
which destroyed the church steeple in Dampvitoux. 

Our dream of remaining for the winter in this position was dissembled late 
one afternoon when orders were recei\ed to take up a position on the flats over- 
looking Jaulny. where under shell-fire, we emplaced the guns in a road position, 
laying on Mon Plaisir. We remained there only one night, returning to the 
old home. 

We sat comfortably here until early in the morning of November II th. 
"Immoderate 1 " about four o'clock that morning was ordered to have his battalion 
take up position at once in the vicinity of Marimbois Farm. The drive on 
Chambley was scheduled to be launched that morning and our artillery was 
booked to go over with the infantry as accompanying artillery. Battery B was 
ordered to move at once and take up a position near Marimbois. Lieutenant 
Wallick, reconnaissance officer, with men from the detail, left immediately to 
reconnoiter and find a position. Marimbois Farm could only be reached by 
crawling through a network of wire strung across the road. The farm itself 
was literall\- a mass of shell holes. It was decided that the farm offered no suit- 
able position. Through the thick fog could be seen the outlines of what appeared 
to be bushes. About to in\estigate, attention was attracted by a hoarse cough 
coming from the direction of the ruined farm buildings. Investigating, an infantry 
outpost of a lieutenant and private was found. From them it was learned that 
the bushes were enemy machine gun nests, and that the infantry was one 
kilometer to the rear. Retracing their steps, they met the battery at the road 
which branched oft to Haumont, under the command of Captain Pugh. Position 
was taken up near there, two platoons of engineers assisting in digging the 
emplacements. Fire was opened on Lachaussee. Flashes revealed our position 
to the enemy and in a few minutes we were subjected to both shell and machine- 
gun fire. Under orders from "Immoderate 1" the battery ceased firing and the 
crews sought the little shelter a\'ailable, some crawling under culverts and others 
dropping in shell holes. For two hours we were subjected to intense fire, many 
having narrow escapes. In one instance a big "G. I. Can" struck within a few- 
inches of one of the men. but it was a "dud". It was the armistice that was 
declared at ele\en hours that saved us. 

Late in the afternoon, after the fog had lifted, we reconnoitered the position. 
It was found to be not more than six hundred meters from enemy machine-gun 
nests. To the enemy our pieces were clearly visible, silhouetted against the 
horizon. No infantry was between our position and the enemy's front lines, 
except a few small outposts.

Battery C 

"33" 

BATTERY C, 341st Field Artillery, was organized at Camp Funston, Kansas, 
with Captain Harry E. Randel as battery commander, on September 
7, 1917. The battery at that time consisted of First Lieutenant James 
W. Pugh, Second Lieutenants John W. Rawlings and Mack Davis, and twenty- 
seven enlisted men from Colorado, practically without military training. These 
men had to undergo the usual cold bath before donning their new uniforms. 
This little stream of water was the dividing line between civilian and military 
life. After being given a preliminary training of but two weeks these same men 
helped to drill and train one hundred twenty-si.x recruits that reported for duty 
on September 20, 1917. This second increment was composed of men from 
Colorado only. On October 4th and bth the South Dakota contingent arrived — 
forty-five men. Later the men from Missouri arrived. 

Soon all time was taken up with drill and other training; during the period 
of intensive training there was plenty of equitation, standing gun drill, close 
formation drill, followed by actual firing on the range. 

On October 29, 1917, the battery took the first hike to Camp Hay Springs, 
a distance of eight miles. 

On No\ember 2, 1917, Colonel Nugent inspected the battery, having 
the men mount on their wooden horses and examining them to ascertain how 
much they knew about army rules and regulations. One man was asked by 
the Colonel, "What are 'the Articles of War'?" The recruit replied, "Guns, 
pistols, swords, cannon and all of that sort." 

Besides the regular routine they found time to engage in all kinds of sports. 
Captain Randel and Lieutenant Rawlings joining in with them. 

The baseball team was organized and coached by Captain Randel. This 
team won all of the games, except that played for the regimental championship 
with Battery A. 

The football team was organized and coached by Lieutenant Rawlings; 
it won every game and succeeded in winning regimental championship and the 
prize cup. After winning the championship the team played the 314th Signal 
Battalion a draw game — score, to 0. It was scored on only once. 

The time went rapidly by and soon the battery started preparation for the 
trip to the port of embarkation. 

During May, 1918, Captain John L. Vandegrif assumed command and 
took the battery to Camp Mills, Long Island, New York, where it remained

imtil June 21, 1918. On that day it left for Boston, Massachussetts, to embark 
for overseas. 

The boys will never forget the good coffee served to them by the Red Cross 
ladies of Boston. Embarking at Boston, they sailed for Halifax, Nova Scotia, 
and there met the convoy with which they uere to sail. Battery C sailed on the 
good ship "Bohemia," in first-class army style. The trip was without excitement, 
and after fourteen days on board the outfit disembarked at London, England. 
Here it received its welcome from King George and afterward entrained for 
Southampton. 

Southampton for one night; embarkation: an uncomfortable crossing of 
the Channel; arrival at LaHavre, and a "rest" at that place occupied the next 
few days. Then the ne\er-to-be-forgotten three days of travel south, cattle 
style, and the arrival at Castelnau-de-Medoc, France. 

At that place the theory of the "75 m.m.," the duties of the battery 
commander detail and co-ordination of the various departments of the battery 
were studied in preparation for the finishing course at Camp de Souge. The time 
at Castelnau will be remembered as having been pleasantly spent; it was a summer 
vacation in a beautiful country place amongst hospitable, genial people, the kind 
of people we were to fight in defense of later on. 

Camp de Souge, the artillery training camp, was to be our last camp of 
instruction before actual fighting. Here the rough edges were knocked off, and 
the final polish applied; the "T^ m.m." was mastered and each man learned 
and played his part as he was later to play it against the "Hun". Battery C 
of the 341st Field Artillery developed the premier gun crews of the First Battalion, 
as proved by competitive tests, and on the first day that any batteries were sent 
to the target range, Battery C fired the first shot fired by any battery of the 
regiment in France. 

Unfortunately the honor of losing the first man fell to Battery C. During 
the firing of a practice barrage, while at the range, a gun burst, killing instantly 
Private First Class Felix A. Miller, and slightly wounding the Chief of Section, 
Sergeant Clarence C. Crosby. From a brigade order, which cited the work 
of the firing battery : "The battery was firing and the men were wearing gas 
masks. The squad of the exploded gun remained at their posts, without remov- 
ing masks, and continued to act in a most cool and collected manner until the 
barrage was completed. The excellent discipline shown, during the incident, 
is most satisfactory, and the men concerned are highly commended for the 
soldierly qualities they displayed. Their names are as follows : Sergeant Clarence 
C. Crosby, Corporal Sidney J. Brule, Privates First Class Emil C. Baseler and 
Paul W. E\en, and Privates James J. Walker and James E. Powers. 

The following day Pri\ate First Class Miller was laid to rest in a little 




graveyard, near Camp de Souge, his comrades acting as a guard of honor. 
General Donnelly was present at the grave side. 

Soon the training was completed, and final preparations having been made. 
Battery C was ordered to take its place at the front. September 14, 1Q18, 
saw the day of its departure. Then began the trip to St. Mihiel Sector, in the 
little French box cars. The boys were in tip-top spirits, and amused themselves 
by singing and viewing the scenery as the train went bumping on its way. Many 
Red Cross hospital trains were passed, bearing wounded on their way back from 
the front, and the men cheered them loudly. Battery C envied them, and was 
more than ever an.xious to get to the front and show what they could do. When 
the train finally pulled into Toul, on the evening of September 17th, the men were 
very tired from their long rides, but resolutely started to unload materiel, horses, 
supplies, rations, etc. Without the loss of a moment's time, horses were hitched 
to caissons and supply wagons, and then started the steady, hard grind to the 
front. This was a test of endurance. 

Marching all night, up one hill, down another, many times having to put 
their shoulders to the wheel to help some caisson or wagon up a steep grade, 
laboring constantly, their grit and stamina were tested to the utmost. But that 
spirit which all real Americans possess prevailed, and there was always someone 
fresher than the rest to lend a helping hand. 

At Menil-la-Tour the battery stopped for a few hour's rest, then pushed on 
to the front, where it took up position in the foreward part of Bois de Beney, 
northeast of the battle-scarred village of Beney. This position was an extremely 
hazardous one and guns were literally placed in front line trenches with the 
"Doughboys". This was called the "Anti-Tank Position," and orders were 
given not to fire, unless attacks were made by enemy tanks. For three days, 
and two nights they enjoyed a real taste of "Doughboy" life; exposed to the 
danger of discovery by enemy "bird men" they were forced to keep constantly 
under cover. Frequently shelled by the enemy they were compelled to seek 
the shelter of their "fox holes." Here they labored and slept in the mud and 
the rain, sometimes going without food for hours, but cheerfully performing the 
tasks assigned to them. Sometimes men, tired and weary, slept without being 
aware of the shell-fire going on near them. For all of these hardships the men 
were in excellent spirits. 

Private Odegaard saw many things to e.xcite his imagination and stir his 
blood, and when the enemy opened fire danced around in great glee. "Fine! 
this is great! I'll have lots of stories to tell the little Odes when I get back home." 
Just then a shell exploded close by, splashing mud in his face. As he ducked for 
cover he was heard to say, "Whew! That was a close one. Maybe there won't 
be any little Odes!" 



—68- 



When Battery C was relie\ed and moved back to a new position, at the 
south edge of Beney Woods, the men were fairly used to conditions and were 
acting like veterans. They had need to be, for the new position did not prove 
to be an easy one. and there were times when enemy shell-fire became so hot 
that they had to run for shelter. While at this position the battery distinguished 
itself by destroying part of and holding up the movement of an enemy train. 

Next the battery moved under shell-fire to a hill above the village of 
Bouiilonville. Having no natural protection from enemy eyes camouflage was 
used to screen the guns. Within fifty and seventy-five feet of, and to the rear 
of the guns lay the wreck of the long railroad bridge of Bouiilonville. The boys 
of Battery C were not slow in taking advantage of the sheltered sleeping quarters 
afiorded by the insides of the uprights and pillars still standing. Under another 
part of the bridge a headquarters was established, where the officers worked out 
the firing data. At Bouiilonville there was much aerial activity, scout and 
bombing planes circling around day and night. The enemy seemed to be 
particularly anxious to discover the position, and one night dropped a large balloon 
flare from an aeroplane, lighting up the position with wierd efiect. On the 
night of September 26th Battery C helped to put over the "Million Dollar 
Barrage'" that was fired along the whole front and was the signal for the general 
advance, around Verdun and in the Argonne Forest. Having attained its 
object here, the battery again mo\'ed, and took up position in front of Lamarche. 

Going to this new position, movement was somewhat retarded by seas 
of mud. Men sunk into the mud up to their knees. A water cart was tempo- 
rarily abandoned in the mud. 

At this position the men enjoyed the glad experience of having dry places 
to sleep in off the bare ground. Shacks, formerly the homes of the Germans, 
were quickly made use of. But to avoid danger from bombardments, men were 
put to work digging dug-outs, and when finished moved into them. These 
proved to be comfortable homes. Battery C will never forget the dark nights 
spent here, so dark that all sense of direction became lost. It was while here 
that the combat train bringing up ammunition for the Second Battalion was 
shelled near Lamarche, resulting in the serious wounding of Privates Walter 
B. Gramer and Reuben L. Speer, and the killing of several horses. 

From this position the nightly barrages, and the daylight sniping and 
registering were fired. The position was also used as a base of operations for 
the ro\'ing gun, "H. E. Rover." Having been driven out of these woods. "Jerry" 
had abandoned a complete network of narrow-gauge tracks. To the rear these 
were used as a means of bring up ammunition and food. The track extended, 
in good condition, to our infantry front lines, with many sidings, therefore 
accurate locations were staked out, and nightly "H. E." mounted on a small 



~(,9~ 



car would emerge from the woods and go forward for its evening exercise. 
Chamhley, the railroad center north of Chamhley, Xonville and other points 
beyond reach of the guns farther back would receive their shelling; then before 
the sound ranging devices of the enemy could get locations on the "Rover", he 
would hastily retire to safety, much to the disgust of the "Doughboys". 

The last few days at this position gossip was rife about Austria's quitting, 
and Germany asking for an armistice. On the evening of November 8th, however, 
the battery was ordered to change positions and move to the vicinity of Thiaucourt, 
preparatory to a possible offensive. 

Pulling out from Beney V/oods into Beney-St. Benoit road, the battery 
marched to a position near Thiaucourt. This was about twenty-two hours. 
After tramping along, with many delays, and passing many trucks of an 
ammunition train stalled on the road, the battery came to a halt, while the scout 
corporal went ahead in the darkness to find the position staked out during the 
afternoon by Lieutenant Patten. It was now about one hour, November 9th. 
While the battery waited, the "Boche" systematically shelled Thiaucourt with 
"heavies", a distant boom, a whining away overhead in the clouds, then a noise 
like the clanging of a heavy metallic door in the direction of Thiaucourt. The 
position located, the battery followed the road down to where it was cut off by 
a ridge and then swerved to the left on a road running along this ridge, where 
it was to take up position. As the battery swung in, on to this road, there came 
the ricketing screech of "77 m.m.," followed by a loud explosion as it burst on the 
top of the ridge about fifty feet away. The enemy followed this up, sweeping 
the ridge and battery position with high explosive and gas. Shells dropped all 
around, killing one horse, and wounding another so severely that the battery com- 
mander had to shoot it. Sergeant John Pyron was severely wounded in the breast, 
abdomen and foot, by a high explosive shell, while bringing his section into 
position. Corporal Charles L. Carlson was wounded by shell fragment, and 
Private First Class James B. McKeon was slightly gassed. After the battery 
finally got into position the enemy continued to rake the position, forcing the 
men to lie flat on the ground. They did not have time to dig trenches. On 
the 9th all that screened them from the enemy was a heavy fog — lucky for them. 
In the afternoon Corporal Fred Engberg was wounded, his leg being broken by 
a shell fragment. On the evening of November 9th Battery C was ordered 
from this place and sent to the edge of Dampvitoux Woods. From there, on 
the morning of November 1 1th, it was ordered to take up position at Marimbois 
FaiTn. As the battery moved up the road to this place, a French soldier came 
down the road, with joy written on his face, shouting: "Fini! Fini! Amiistice! 
Armistice!" It was only a short while afterwards, however, that the boys found 
out that for them the war had just begun.

The move touards Marimbois Farm was started at lour hours. The 
commander, the reconnaissance officer and the battery commander detail 
preceded the battery to scout for position. A platoon of engineers cleared w ire 
entanglerpents and other obstructions from the road. The position selected 
was just in rear of the Farm, and it was occupied while under sniping and 
machine-gun fire. To Instrument Sergeant Gunson belongs the credit of laying 
the second platoon while exposed to fire. Lieutenant Patten in laying the 
first platoon, assisted by the Instrument Sergeant was subjected to the same 
fire. The second platoon opened fire on Lachaussee at 8.30 hours, and almost 





> front o- 



immediately thereafter the battery was caught in an enemy barrage of mustard 
gas and high explosive shelling, which lasted for two hours. During this time 
the second platoon, under Lieutenant Manderson, was ordered to retire, its 
guns having become useless due to mustard gas. The first platoon, under 
Lieutenant Rawlings, remained at its posts without cover, until ordered to the 
rear by the battalion commander at about ten hours. The position was pre- 
carious, for there was no infantry between the battery and the enemy. The 
battery commander was fired upon directly by machine-gun fire when slightly 



—71— 




in advance of the Farm, endeavoring to locate an Observation Post; Private 
First Class Brady ordered to establish liaison with the infantry was halted and 
fired upon, and finally driven back from a position between the Farm and 
Dampvitoux. There were sixty men sent to the first-aid station after firing ceased 
at eleven hours. The following were found to be seriously gassed or wounded: 
Corporals Charles F. Ellis. Sidney J. Brule and Martin J. WoUenberg, Privates 
First Class James F. Brady, Rumsie O. Nichols and James N. Spencer, and 
Privates Robert H. Bums, Daniel Carrico, Jose L. Cortinas, Hans Hanson, Jesse 
L. Hays and Ora C. Triplett. 

To Battery C, then, belongs the record of having occupied more positions 
on the front, of having held positions closer to the front lines — three times it was 
up even with or in advance of the infantry — and therefore of having seen more action 
than any other battery in the regiment. The first shot fired in France by the 
regiment was by this battery, and it is an honor, although regrettable, that it

Battery "C" of the 341st Field Artillery 

E CAME from Colorado, where the mountain peaks are high, 

And did "Squads East" at Funston on the Kaw, 
Where the summer suns and sand storms uould make you bleary eye, 
And the winter winds would cut you to the "raw". 



We camped at Mills, came 'cross the sea, and trained at Camp de Souge, 
Where we lost our "Number One Man" — damn the luck; 

We traveled cattle-fashion to Toul on the Meuse, 

Then we hiked to Beney Woods on Just our pluck. 

We lived in trenches in good old "Doughboy" fashion. 

We fired our barrages every night. 
I s"pose we did our kickin' no matter what the ration. 

But they never found us wanting in a fight. 

We have occupied positions from the Farm to Thiaucourt, 

We fooled the warry "Jerry" with our "Rover"; 
We had our casualties; they were all the minor sort; 

We were gassed at Marimbois w hen it was over. 

We" ve done what we set out to do, and guarded on the Rhine, 

And now we re going to leave it bye and bye. 
We're going to cross the ocean to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne", 

For our Home, where all the mountain peaks are high.

Battery D 



BATTERY D's birth and early life was not unlike in most respects to many 
other similar organizations that sprang into existence as a part of the 
National Army at the same time. On September 6th, thirty young men, 
all from Colorado, were assigned to the 341st Field Artillery, and in turn assigned 
to Battery D, under command of Captain Harvey A. Fancher. In civilian clothes 
of all descriptions they were a decidedly unmilitary lot. Their new career began. 
Herded to the bath-house they passed under the cold shower, bidding good-bye 
to their "cits", and emerged wearing the clothes of a soldier. Although they 
were dressed as soldiers they were not soldiers, as they found out during the next 
two weeks. 

In preparation for the assignment of additional recruits to the battery these 
thirty were drilled without rest for two weeks. Rain, heat, and physical dis- 
comforts, which to them at that time were very apparent, were disregarded. 
The only relief from drill was inspections, filling bed-sacks for the first forty 
per cent and the necessary fatigue duties. During these two weeks the entire 
regiment, as well as regimental headquarters, was housed in one building. 

On the arrival of the forty per cent the battery was given a home of its own. 
Battery D began to assume the appearance of a material being. A mess was 
started, which for the first week feed mostly liver, but nevertheless it was a mess. 
The first sergeant gradually assumed his role of master of the battery's destinies, 
and as he was well liked and obeyed, results were obtained. The two-week's 
veterans did good work in the initial training of the new men. Shortly there 
arose among the men that feeling ever necessary for all efficient military organ- 
izations — pride in their organization and in themselves. 

During the early training period "grief" was ever present. Materiel needed 
for training purposes could not be secured. Specialists needed for certain work 
had to be trained. Apparently all that could be secured was clothing — not any 
too well fitted or too plentiful — and food. The rest was a matter of simulation 
or make-shift. 

Slowly equipment was issued. Horses, which we didn't think much of 
then, but which we would have been overjoyed in having while on the front, 
were issued. The riding of the horses in zero weather without saddles and often- 
times without blankets, and their watering in the Kaw River a mile distant, 
will be subject that the world war veterans will enjoy a half century from now. 

Thanksgiving and Christmas were occasions for glorious dinners. The home

folks sent enormous quantities of food stufis, much of which could not be eaten. 
In a number of instances whole turkeys were thrown into the garbage cans. 

Training of the battery progressed slowly but steadily during the winter 
months. Handicapped by the severity of the season and lack of equipment, 
the training schedule was followed to the extent possible, with the result that 
when spring finally came the organization was ready tor service firing. The 
cannoneers who had gun drill with the thereometer ten degrees below zei'o, oft- 
times a gale blowing, did not need to be cautioned to execute the commands in 
double time. 

"Socks dirt>'." "Full of holes," "Non-issue," "Dirt\- tape." "No clean under- 
wear," and "Shoes worn out" are comments that w ill never be forgotten. Clothing 
was short, so when the division inspection was held, the men maneuvered to 
put forth the best they had with the foregoing result. The division inspector, 
passing down the line of "pup" tents with the battery commander close to his 
elbow, and a secretary to jot down deficiencies, was eagle-eyed. But a few out- 
witted him by changing with men who had already been inspected, poor for good 
equipment. "Socks dirty" lead by a large margin. 

The cantonment siren, sounding the general fire alarm, was another "pleasure" 
of our life at Camp Funston. Aroused once at midnight. Battery D was out on 
the road with blanket rolls and five days' rations and forage in twenty-three 
minutes, ready to move. After resting on the road for one hour and a halt we 
turned in, only to fall out in two hours to go to the range for service firing. 

During the various epidemics that swept the cantonment Battery D was 
quarantined. Being quarantined did not cause a cessation in training. It only 
prohibited our mingling with men from other organizations. It was at this 
time that our supply sergeant established the battery canteen. 

During the training period in America a number of good men, especially 
qualified, were transferred to special units and for replacements. Consequently 
we were usually below authorized strength, although men sufficient for two 
batteries were trained. 

At Camp Mills we spent a busy three weeks, equipping and drilling replace- 
ments, furnishing fatigue details for every purpose to the camp commander, 
wearing bathing suits at Coney Island, scheming how to buy a drink, and dodging 
military police on our return sometime before reveille. 

The trip across. Had it not been for the canteen which was established 
with supplies bought at Halifax. Nova Scotia, Battery D would have been a 
scrawny looking outfit when it debarked at London, England, for the "cockney 
grub" was hardly what could be termed appetizing and nourishing. It was so 
poor and dirty that finally the Fourth of July was celebrated by our cooks taking 
o\er the galleys and handing out the first real meal of the voyage. 



vy^'z 





We saw our first German prisoners as we marched through the streets of 
Southampton to the rest camp. Subsistence on a piece of cheese, English girls, 
and another medical inspection, are our memories of this halt. 

Three days riding in the renowned French troop cars, with not sufficient 
room for all to lie down simultaneously, and with equipment hung overhead on 
wires, continually hitting our heads, we arrived late in the afternoon at St. Helene. 
We hiked ten kilometers that evening to Castelnau, arriving at ten o'clock, and 
were billeted in an old theatre. 

At Castelnau we secured a good rest, learned to speak a little French, to 
enjoy French cooking and Vin Blanc and Vin Rouge. The training schedule 
interrupted by the trip overseas was resumed. Here we learned the agonies of 
the gas mask and what a wonderful protection to the eyes the overseas cap is. 
The swimming hole, one kilometer from town, refreshed us after the long hot clays. 

From Castelnau we hiked to Camp cle Souge for the finishing touches. 
A camp of sand, pines, flies, and range fires were its noticeable features. 

Our guns went into position the night of September 18th and our initial 
saKo with the "Boche " as targets was fired the following night. From that time 
on the battery was constantly in action until the cessation of hostilities, occupying 
three positions, all between Beney and St. Benoit. 

Our first position was on the Beney-St. Benoit road, four hundred meters 
from the Beney crossroads. When we first occupied it, the \icinity was strewn 
with abandoned war materiel of all kinds, the Germans having been driven back 
three days previous in the St. Mihiel drive. Rifies, machine-guns ready for 
action, hand grenades, entrenching tools, clothing, and stores of ammunition 
lay all around. Not far was a German battery of "77 m-m's". We saw their 
gunners put to bed with a spade. 

Three weeks in the road position and we moved tov\ard St. Benoit, placing 
our guns in the edge of the Bois de Beney, where, profiting by the experience 
gained in the first position, we soon had comfortable, splinter proof dugouts. 
Being in the woods the men could circulate during the daytime without fear of 
enemy observation, which proved a great relief after three weeks of seeking con- 
cealment on the roacl Our kitchen, located in the woods a short distance to the 
rear, was conveniently located foi' the men to "chow." Flapjacks, whenever 
fiour could be salvaged, was the leader on the bill of fare. While occupying 
this position we were adjusted on by an enemy plane, but fortunately the obser- 
vation was poor, for the effect was always short, although a few of the "150 m-m's" 
hit fifty meters in front. 

Our last position was in St. Benoit, one platoon being placed in the grounds 
of the chateau and the other in the dike. We were setting pretty. The pieces 
were well placed and excellently camoufiaged. We found plenty of dry shelter 



-96- 



in the buildings of the town. The kitchen was nearby. In fact, no better 
position could he wished for. 

One gun blew up here. An high explosive shell exploded in the muzzle 
of Number Three piece. Luckily no casualties resulted, although Number One 
of the adjoining piece had his rammer-staff cut in two and his canteen smashed 
by flying fragments. The wheels of the next piece were broken. 

On No\ember 1 1th, General Donnelly, after watching our gun creus put over 
the final \'olley at maximum speed, complimented the men by saying that he 
had never witnessed better work by any battery. 

While the gun crews naturally saw the most excitement, the drivers at the 
echelon got a good taste of shelling the second day on the front. They were 
lined up for evening "chow", when, with the usual whistle, a large calibre "Heinie" 
shell passed over, killing four men and twelve horses one hundred and fifty meters 
away. A second later a second exploded, this time closer. The "chow" line 
broke and scattered. The telephone operator alone stayed to wait for the next 
ones. 

While in action we learned to know one another. Every last man was 
found capable of performing his duties, and many times those of more respon- 
sibility. There were no court-martials and no reprimands. The work of the 
battery commander's detail is worthy of special mention, as is that of the 
camouflage detail, whose work brought a commendation from the Fourth Army 
Corps. The treatment accorded by Lieutenant Kellog, battery commander, 
and the other officers, as well as their behavior, called forth the best that there 
was in e\er last one. 

On the day the regiment crossed the Serre River at Rossport into Germany 
Battery D was the leading battery.

Battery E 

"35" 

CAPTAIN HABEEB A. SAIDY took charge of a group of thirty-one recruits 
just off the train. "You are in Battery E, 34ist Field Artillery," he said, 
— "follow me." They followed through a maze of dust, over piles of 
lumber, avoiding ditches and post-holes, to a well lighted barrack on Infantry 
Boulevard. 

That is how, on the night of September 6, 1917, the enlisted personnel 
of Battery E got its start. These men, all from Colorado, comprised the first 
five per cent of the original quotas from Lake, Larimer, Jackson, Moffat, Park 
and Pitkin counties. They came full of "pep" and enthusiasm, ready for hard 
work, and they found the hard work in the succeeding two weeks. Foot drill, 
school of the soldier, school of the squad, with rest periods filled in with talks on 
military courtesy and discipline, calesthenics, with "shots" in the arm and back, 
and issues of equipment, filled in the time from reveille to retreat. 

After two weeks the battery moved to its own barrack and preparations 
were made for receiving the "first forty per cent." It arrived September 18th, 
followed two weeks later by another likely-looking bunch of recruits. By the 
middle of October the battery was filled to war strength. The Artillery Brigade 
had moved into its own barracks, just completed, and work was under way for 
many of the various phases of training. 

The regiment had as yet neither horses nor materiel, so the fertile mind 
of Captain Saidy conceived the idea of constructing them of wood. "Change 
post," and "Prepare to .mount, Mount!" were familiar sounds, and the men 
became quite expert in leaping astride their barrel horses. Battery E has the 
unique distinction of being, so far as known, the first battery to receive its first 
equitation on wooden horses. 

It was at this time that the wit of the battery, guarding a partially constructed 
ammunition storehouse one night, remarked: "This is a hell of an army, riding 
wooden horses and guarding empty houses with wooden guns." 

On Sunday morning, January bth, in a snowstorm and biting wind, the 
"non-coms." of Battery E had their first gun drill with a "3.2" piece. A few 
days later the battery began its first real standing gun drill, using the three- 
inch pieces, four of which had been issued to the regiment. Equitation — on 
real horses — also began. Digging trenches for the infantry in Smoky Hill Flats 
was a part of the training. Classes in grooming by detail, nomenclature of the 
harness, nomenclature of the horse, harnessing by detail, equitation, driving,

standing gun drill and special work for the battery commander's detail, in 
addition to stables, inspections, guard duty, regimental fatigue, hikes, mounted 
and dismounted, with foot-dnll and athletic games at odd times, kept us busy 
during the winter and spring. 

We said good-bye that uinter to many of our members off for early duty 
in France with other outfits. A few of these were met later o\er there; some 
made the supreme sacrifice for their country. 

On Mav 1st Battery E fired its first shot. The American three-inch pieces.

Model of 1Q04, were used. One week later we stayed in the field over night. 
sleeping in "pup " tents for the first time. 

The second half of May meant unusual activity for Battery E. Personal 
equipment was checked over and over, new supplies were issued; saddles, bridles 
and other individually mounted equipment were boxed up for shipment. In- 
spections were many. All the horses were turned over to the 92nd Division. 
Pay day came on June 1st. 

On Sunday, June 2nd, we left Camp Funston. Three days later we were

in squad tents at Camp Mills, Long Island, New York. There the battery was 
placed at full strength by replacements from Camp Upton. 

Many of us enjoyed sight-seeing trips of New York, Coney Island, and 
other places we had heard of — and some ue hadn't heard of! A few, the lucky 
ones, invested their surplus funds in fifty-Franc scr\ice checks. More equipment, 
more inspections, and the battery was ready to sail. 

Though there are no official records, we believe we ranked first in sea-sickness. 
The mess — Herbert Hoover could ha\e found no cause to criticise. In the 
Fourth of July contests. Battery E did well; the most remarkable performance 
of the day being Pondella's signal victory in the pie-eating contest. He took 
an early lead and was never headed. 

The Briton has been thought of by many as lacking a certain sense of humor, 
but if he is responsible for naming our stopping place in Southampton "rest camp", 
we assert he has been slandered. We did rest our digestive apparatus, by not 
eating breakfast, perhaps that was what he had in mind. 

None will soon forget the "40 Hommes ' trip from LaHavre to St. Helena. 
The outstanding features were the hot coffee served at various stations along 
the line, and the stops made now and then along the country-side to enable all 
who desired to get a more than passing view of the new and varied scenery. 

On Friday afternoon, July 12th, we detrained and hiked toCastelnau, where 
the 341st Field Artillery was billeted for three weeks. Battery E's quarters were 
in the town hall, a large room with dirt floor and open timbers overhead. An 
abundance of straw, already stored, uas available for our bedsacks. We were 
comfortable. After a few days" rest the regular routine was resumed. 

Hikes, foot drill, setting-up exercises, swimming, instruction periods in 
signalling, the "75 m.m." piece, regimental reviews and band concerts, occupied 
the greater portion of the time. 

From there we marched to Camp de Souge, thirty kilometers. The rolls 
and equipment were hauled on trucks. 

The battery occupied two comfortable barracks at Camp de Souge. Warm 
shower baths, the first we had seen for more than two months, were the most 
popular place in camp. 

Gun drill started August 12th; four brand-new "7^ m.m." pieces having 
been issued to the battery. The daily schedule included stables, harnessing, 
equitation, standing gun drill, firing data for non-commissioned officers, and 
special instruction for the battery commanders detail. Special details received 
instruction in machine-guns, camouflage, telephones and gas defense. 

On Friday, August 16th, Battery E had its first actual firing practice with 
the "75 m.m." pieces on the range. From then, until September 6th, we fired on 
an average of three half-days per week.

September 6th the entire l(?4th F-ielJ Artillery Brigade fired a barrage lasting 
forty minutes. This ended Battery E's range firing. The following ueek was 
taken up with pistol practice, equipment inspections, and packing for the front. 

After a three-day trip we detrained at Toul. on September 19th. Two 
days hiking and Battery E halted on a hillside near Pannes. All rolls and e.xtra 
equipment were removed from the carriages, and preparations were made for 
going into position. Under cover of darkness, in a steady, soaking rain, the 
first seven sections pulled out on to the road. After leaving Pannes, a distance 
of one hundred meters between sections was maintained. The Pannes-Beney 
road was ali\'e with trucks bringing up ammunition, but the dri\ers pulled through 
Beney without mishap and found our position on the road, a short distance to 
the north and west of Beney. The cannoneers began to dig in. The guns were 
laid, and 802 rounds of high explosive shells were unloaded from the limbers 
and caissons. After a strenuous night's work in the rain and darkness the 
battery was ready to fire. The gun crews knew what occupying a new position 
meant. 

A gradual slope masked the battery position from the front, but overhead 
it was practically unconcealed. A fill in the road afforded slight protection. 
Before long several dugouts had been made. The field range was brought up 
and a kitchen established under camouflage. All were required to remain under 
cover during the day. Practically all the work had to be done at night. 

We made our first move during the nights of October 9th and 10th, after 
"Fritz " had secured "overs" and "shorts". Profiting by experiences and mistakes 
made at the first position, we built a real battery position. It was an ideal position. 
The woods afforded defilade and partial concealment from enemy planes. We 
dug pits, lowered the guns about three feet. To the left of the pit, not three 
meters from the trail spade, were the ammunition pits covered with corrugated 
iron and sand bags. To the right were the dugouts for the gun crews, covered 
with iron and three layers of sacks. Double-decked bunks were built. A short 
distance to the rear of each piece we built reserve ammunition pits. Between 
the platoons, and twenty-five meters to the rear, a two-room dugout was built 
for a telephone central and post commander. We were surely setting pretty. 
We were comfortable and only a direct hit could get us. On the right flank, 
and less than a half kilometer distance, were a number of wooden buildings built 
by the Germans, well hidden among the trees. These were used as barracks 
for the extra gun crews, officers' quarters, and the kitchen, which served three 
warm meals every day. We were on a picnic. Inspecting officers said it was 
the best position they had seen. 

From this position we registered direct hits on Dommartin church steeple, 
enemy dugouts, machine-gun nests, and the materiel depots, put over gas attacks,

much harassing fire, and a number of barrages. The last barrage from this 
position was fired on the e\ening of October 29th. We were under orders to 
advance to St. Benoit. -The four guns were out of action and being pulled from 
the pits, when the barrage signal was sent up from the front lines. The guns were 
rushed back into action, relayed and ready to fire. We had no more than heard 
the reports of guns from neighboring batteries when "Bang!" goes two of Battery 
E's guns, followed closely by the other two guns. We fired the barrage and 
proceeded to St, Benoit.

Here we went into action along the road. The drainage ditch along the 
road with camouflage nets afforded concealment. A culvert was used for the 
telephone central. As it was thought only a temporary position little time was 
spent that night to make it home-like. 

Later, when it was found that the position would be occupied indefinitely, 
the first platoon was moved about five hundred meters to the left rear into the 
woods; dugouts and ammunition pits were made. Buildings were found 
near the guns that served as P. C, telephone central, officers' quarters, 
kitchen and barracks for the extra gun crews. We were very comfortable when

the big day came — the day we put o\er 29 rounds in the last minute of the 
play: the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. 

That we may not forget our officers, we will have to remember that the 
battery was led into action by Lieutenant Frederic R. Lanagan; Lieutenants 
Raymond P. Hogan and Thomas W. Casey were executives; Lieutenant Rollin 
D. Chittenden, reconnaissance officer; and Lieutenant George W. Kassler, in 
charge of the combat train. Lieutenant Lanagan was relieved by Captain Morrison 
Shafroth on October 1 1 th. Lieutenant Hogan took command when the Captain 
was injured. Lieutenant Hogan was later promoted to Captain. Lieutenants 
Frank H. Banks and Will P. Caldwell joined the battery while at St. Benoit. 
After arriving at Speicher, Germany, Lieutenant Robert L. Shultz was transferred 
to this organization. Captain Hogan continued in command. 

At the front Battery E never slept. It could always be counted upon to 
deliver when called upon. The gun crews and mechanics kept the guns in first- 
class condition despite the mud and rain. The drivers and the others kept the 
harness fit and ready. The battery commanders detail was on the job all the 
time. One instance of its faithful and efficient work is the fact that on November 
10th its telephone line was for several hours the only one working from the front 
lines at Haumont, and was used by the infantry as well as by our own observers. 
Private King, of the detail, already experienced in dodging enemy shells, further 
distinguished himself by voluntarily going to the aid of a wounded "Doughboy", 
administering first-aid and bandaging his wounds. 

It will be interesting to note the firing Battery E did in action. The gun- 
books show that from September 20th, when our first shells went over, until the 
final "cease firing" on November 1 1th, we fired a total of 12,758 rounds, an average 
of more than 240 rounds per day; or, in other woi'ds, we fired an average of one 
round every six minutes day and night during the fifty-three days we were in 
action. Our machine-guns turned a few thousand rounds loose at aeroplanes. 

In spite of the rain and mud and hardships, life at the front was not without 
its laughs. One of our cannoneers with an original turn of mind was once acting 
as gunner. Having some difficulty in getting on his aiming post with a new 
deflection, he called out to another cannoneer: "Go, and move the aiming post, 
so I can get on it." 

One morning when the battery was sending them on the way with regularity, 
the executive spied a cannoneer near by, sans helmet, sans blouse, sans gas mask. 
The officer said: "Now wouldn't you be in a hell of a fix if a gas shell should 
light right there!" "Sure, and would n't we both be in a hell of a fix!" 

After the signing of the armistice the guns were left in position until 
November 27th, the gun crews alternating between duty at the guns and hikes 
into territory but recently occupied by the "Boche", where mine fields, concrete

dugouts and other interesting things were inspected. At the echelon the men 
waded about in the mud, cleaning harness and caring for the horses. Varying 
the monotony, one of the largest dugouts caved in on a dozen men one night. 

The morning after Thanksgiving Day the battery pulled out, starting on the 
hike into Germany. The third day out we crossed the old Hindenburg "line." That 
afternoon we stopped in Spincourt, where we were fortunate enough to have stoves 
in our billets. Here, too, we found a shower bath, with plenty of hot water. 

On the fifth days' march we entered the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. 
The next day we passed through the City of Luxemburg and stopped that night 
in Junglinster, where we rested one day. 

On December 7th, exactly five months after we landed in London, we crossed 
the Sauer River into Rhineland, Germany. We pulled into Badem that night 
after a long, hard hike, having pulled up the worst hills we had encountered so far. 
After one day's rest here we moved on to Oberkail, where we spent six days, later 
going to Dudeldorf, then to Speicher. Waflies and marmalade and apples were 
plentiful at first, provided one had "viel marks." 

The big Christmas dinner at Speicher in Meyer's Hall was the event — real 
plates, knives and forks, tables, a big warm room, all decorated with evergreens. 
Fresh roast pork and dressing and all the rest of the good eats made us forget 
we were far from home. A dozen or more of Speicher's "schon Madchens," 
"dolled" up in their best dresses and newest aprons, served. 

In January the work for the winter began. A field inspection by the 
Division Commander took place on the 17th. On the 27th we left for the artillery 
range, near Bettingen, for our first firing since the armistice. 

Practice hikes, foot drill and inspections varied the routine of caring for the 
horses, washing harness and other fatigue duties. Guard details were sent out 
to various points on the railroad and to the Luxemburg border. A few of the 
men got trips to Aix-les-Baines or Paris. 

The "fiu" struck us about the middle of February, about half of the battery 
going to the hospital at Trier. Four of them succumbed to pneumonia. We 
mourn the loss of Schumacher, Bradley, Mittlat and Matson, our first losses on 
European soil. 

After a series of inspections, firing, and competitions. Battery E was rated 
as the best battery in the better battalion in the regiment for February, and given 
the right to wear a white background in two of the spaces in the division insignia. 

It has been worth while. Battery E has been fortunate in having officers 
who were not only efficient, but who commanded the respect and admiration of 
the men. Perhaps the thing that impressed us most, in our almost endless days 
of training and at the front, was our officer's unfailing patience with the men, 
often under the most trying circumstances.

Battery F 

"36" 

BATTERY F. the organization that could always be counted upon to deliver, 
whether it was at inspections, firing, or what not. In the beginning back 
at Camp Funston we gained that reputation and to the end it was con- 
scientiously maintained. Battery F has never been accused of failing in its 
missions. Pride in its work has been the chief factor of its success. 

At Camp Funston an order would be received to build sidewalks around 
the barrack, to ha\-e the kitchen and mess hall arranged in such and such a manner, 
to build a corral and fi.x up the stables. Invariably, no matter what the character 
of the order was. Battery F was one of the first to comply with it. Our ""non- 
coms." apparently had a way of doing things somehow no matter what the 
difficulties were. It was at Camp Funston that our salvage detail gained valuable 
experience, and to it is not a little credit for the improvements and conveniences 
in our barracks and stables at Funston. It also was responsible that we were 
never '"short" on anything. 

We were the first organization to have service firing. We were selected from 
the two light artillery regiments at Camp Funston to fire demonstration problems 
for the Third Officers' Training Camp candidates. We were picked to lay down 
the barrage over the trenches on Carpenter Hill for General Wood, which was 
complimented by him for its accuracy. We also achieved four casualties on the 
Fort Riley range — one fanner and three pigs — caused by a Ricochetting shell. 

Ovir life at Camp Funston had no outstanding features; it consisted chiefly 
of drill and fatigue. It was the routine life that every recruit in the National 
Army uent through. We took charge of our post and all the government property 
in view. We halted all persons from a school-boy to the officer of the day. Our 
Corporal Maas, now a Second Lieutenant, as often happens while on guard, fell 
asleep and posted the other reliefs in his dreams only. The unfortunates who 
walked post all night could never quite figure it out how he happened to be sent 
to a training camp for officers. 

Our preliminary training was all over on June 1st and we entrained in the 
"tourists" for Camp Mills. We sailed on the S. S. "Laomedon" from Boston, 
Massachussetts. and found that despite the fact of our training as bronco- 
"busters" in the West, chaps and spurs were of little use in riding waves. We ate 
"wooley" and "goldfish," and the fishes followed us. 

The English watch-charm engines met us at London and we were whirled 
across beautiful England to Southampton to the rest camp. Staying there one 








day, we boarded an old side-wheeler and crossed the English channel, resting in 
an erect posture. 

We had it "soft" at Castelnau de Medoc, France, the best billet in the quaint 
little French village being ours. It was a magnificient old chateau, at one time 
the home of a marquis. The grounds, fully ten acres, were enclosed by a stone 
wall. Immediately behind the chateau was a concrete swimming pool, which 
afforded us an excellent plunge and at the same time a most necessary hath, 
a real luxury in France and quite out of the ordinary. 

The training at Castelnau consisted mostly of long tiresome hikes on the hot 
dusty roads, intended to harden the men for the front. "Non-coms." were 
instructed in the French methods and the "75 m.m." piece. 

On August 4th we entered Camp de Souge and began intensive training on 
the "75 mm." piece. The men worked hard, and to the surprise of the French 
instructors, commenced service firing at the end of the first week, which ended 
four weeks later with a brigade barrage. 

On that memorable day, September 14th, we loaded at the rail head, leaving 
the sand and hot days, and started for "somewhere on the front." Although 
we were again traveling French style we were fairly comfortable, as we at least 
had room to stretch out. Arriving at Toul we found that we were to take up a 
position near Beney in the old St. Mihiel sector. 

Our first active service order was, "Keep to the right of the road." From 
Toul to the front the area was most intensely interesting. We saw for the first 
time what we had read about so often, barbed wire and trenches running in every 
direction as far as the eye could see, immense stores of munitions, guns, wagons, 
and hospital equipment abandoned by the recently retreating "Hun" as spoils 
of war. At every turn in the road we fully expected to encounter the enemy in 
full force, for it seemed that we must be close to Germany. 

On September 1 8th we reached Pannes, and received news of the first casualties 
of the regiment. Not an exactly cheering reception. Passing on, we established 
our first echelon on the Lamarche road two kilometers from Pannes. Then we 
began to speed up. Shortly after dusk we loaded all necessary equipment and 
materiel on the gun sections and set out w ith dubious minds to occupy our first 
position, which proved to be the last position also. "No smoking or talking; 
gas masks alert" were the orders. We did not need to have the orders repeated. 
The noise of the guns sounded unnecessarily close, we not knowing where we 
were going. However, we successfully rounded that "Dead Man's Corner", 
better known as the Beney crossroads, and hurried into position eight hundred 
meters on the road to St. Benoit. We fired our first barrage at three hours that 
same night. After four hours of steady firing the infantry began to mo\e back 
with prisoners, a sign of a successful raid. 



—110- 



The very next day we received our baptism of fire, "Jerry" throwing some 
large ones on the crest near the camouflaged road in front of the position. Grad- 
ually he increased the range, until finally he secured hits directly in front of one 
platoon. We fully expected to be annihilated by the next round, but the next 
round never came. "Jerry" laying oft for the day. Battery F was lucky again. 

Day after day, at an interval of about four hours, we would be entertained by 
"Fritz" throwing up mud and rocks in front of us. Many shorts, a few overs, 
and a number mighty close, always kept us in a sort of suspense. We all remember 
the day that "Heinie" dropped one — a "210 mm." at the door of Captain 
Swift's dugout. Fortunately he was not at home. The two batteries in position 
to our right were forced to move, but we were able to stick and hand them back. 

Everything went along smoothly. Our echelon, in a rather conspicious 
position and subject to enemy fire from several directions, was moved one night 
to the vicinity of Essey. There dugouts were built for the drivers and the 
resting gun crews, and stables ere.cted for the horses. The dugouts were warm 
and splinter-proof, but not water-proof. Thanks to the salvage detail, every 
dugout had a stove and other conveniences. Sergeant Distler had a first-rate 
pantry, equipped with a modern safety device, which effectually kept all prowlers 
and always-hungry individuals at a safe distance. 

Our first Observation Post was established in a large tree, some five hundred 
meters from the position. From it we adjusted and identified targets. After 
a number of barrages we grew bolder, and actually established an Observation 
Post in the front lines. Our activities then increased. We could conduct our 
fire more accurately and gained better results. 

All the time the gun position was being improved. Gun-pits with platforms 
were made, so that the pieces could fire at maximum elevation without movement. 
Camouflage nets were arranged so that when the guns were not firing, the nets 
could be dropped, making the position absolutely proof against aerial observation. 

The fore part of October we lost our battery commander. Captain John P. 
Swift, who had been in command of the organization from the first, he being 
made battalion adjutant. Lieutenant Jones assumed command. Under him 
the good work continued. Adjustments were always rapid and precise, and 
missions were accomplished with amazing rapidity. 

Day after day and night after night, the men worked on, disregarding the 
cold and dampness. The firing of a barrage was monotonous. The rumble of 
the "chow" wagon as it came down the road every evening with the beans and 
rice was never monotonous. Our breakfast was served from thermos cans brought 
up in the evening. The midday meal or luncheon consisted most always of 
salmon or "corn wooly" and bread, with prunes as a dessert. 

In time a regular routine of duties was established and we were working like

a hunch of old-timers. Two days would we labor and fast at the position, and 
then back to the echelon for a two-day's rest. There we enjoyed the free baths 
of Sergeant Ehy on the mud flat. Cold outside, but not inside, for within the 
bath-house the salvage detail had placed a "Dutch " traction engine w ith an enor- 
mous capacity of hot water. 

To vary the monotony, "Jerry" put across a few rounds of sneezing gas, 
of which all at the position took snuffs. No ill effects other than temporary 
physical discomfort followed. 

Ammunition was always a source of worry. We never ran short of 
ammunition, however, as the worry always prompted the salvage detail to greater 
efforts. One night ammunition was low. Corporal Layton in charge of the 
ammunition headed the salvaging crew. Sufficient ammunition was acquired 
that night to last a week. Another time Sergeant Chew, searching for white 
fuses, found a box near the dugout of the commander of another battery. We 
had white fuses that night. 

We had a reel cart, the pride of Lieutenant Wyatt. It was filled with real 
wire — not the kind that was issued to artillery. It was reported as "missing." 
Lieutenant Wyatt called the leaders of the salvage detail together and instituted 
a search. He threatened dire things to the taker of the reel cart. He appealed 
for aid from battalion headquarters. It gave him no sympathy, only laughing. 
Finally after days of search it was found in the possession of a sister battery 
and was then returned. Thereafter the reel cart was not hid in the wood. It 
was kept at the position away from foreign salvage details. 

Most barrages were monotonous. But one evening, while firing a problem 
on an important crossroad, the drone of the motor of a German bomber was 
heard overhead, followed shortly by twenty of his gifts, landing in more or less 
proximity to the position. We finished our problem without ceasing fire. 

Under shell-fire it often seems that a whole year is contained in the short 
space of five minutes. We can recall that eventful evening when the German 
"71 m.m.'s" swept up and down the road, dropping ten shells between the gun- 
pits and the dugouts in the three volleys fired. No casualties, except the 
"Number One" piece, which sight was shot away. Battery F was lucky once more. 

We all remember the ten advances that were made by the echelon. Lieutenant 
Clausing would awake us at midnight, give orders to harness and hitch in "double 
time," and then at the "zero" hour move off for the gun position, only to return 
a few hours later tired, cold and hungry. The only advance was made by the 
echelon to the gun position. This was all in the game. 

Steadily we gained experience and confidence, until finally on November 
11th. at ele\en hours, we fired our last rounds in the world war, pouring steel 



mmi ^"Z^' 






into "Fritz" at the rate of twenty-four rounds per gun per minute, and then it 
was "Fini la Guerre." 

From the cessation of hostilities to No\'emher 2Qth we were, and we were not, 
going into Germany. Finall\- we did receive orders to rejoin the 89th Division, 
and become a part of the Third Army, the Army of Occupation. 

The first day's hike landed us at Arvillers, tired and stiff. The second night 
found us more tired and more stiff; that condition steadily growing until the end 
of the hike. Up at four hours, roll blankets, take on a little "slum", harness and 
hitch, then march until late in the afternoon, arri\ing at our billets just before or 
after dark, with an hour's halt at noon for "chow", we took little interest in the 
scenery. We were in the artillery and the artillery always rides — except in 
war. After eleven days on the road we reached Oberkail, then to Dudeldorf 
and to Speicher, the last proving to be our winter billet. 

Inspections and road hikes kept us busy for a number of weeks. Then we 
were given leaves to France, England, and Italy. Many of the men visited Treves 
and Coblenz, Germany. Athletics were participated in Lieutenant Schweiger 
was a member of the 89th Division football team, champions of the American 
Expeditionary Forces. We fired twice on the range, but cold weather prevented 
snappy work. 

Every last man on the roster of Battery F is proud of his organization and 
the part that he played in its record, from the training days at Camp Funston, 
with the dappled gray horses, to its missions on the front, and finally to the day 
that they were "mustered out."

The Supply Company 



THE SUPPL"^' COMPANY under the plan of military organization is not 
a fighting unit. It is a supply company, nothing else. We have endeavored 
to perform efficiently that task with seme success, ue belie\e. and although 
we have been cursed, maligned and everything else in the vocabulary, we can 
say without fear of contradiction that the fighting units of the regiment have 
always secured sufficient supplies to enable them to function properly. Ours 
has not been the work of interest and glory; rather it has been arduous, tiresome 
and monotonous, with few compensations, except that by our aid the regiment 
would not have been able to establish the en\iable reputation it has. 

The feeding, clothing, and outfitting in equipage and materiel, keeping 
this equipment up-to-date and serviceable, often under adverse conditions, and 
the supplying of fuel and forage as well, for an artillery regiment of fifteen 
hundred men and some nine hundred odd animals is a job of no mean proportion. 
It required the best that was in every last man, whether it was a "mule-skinner, " 
stevedore, non-commissioned officer, or officer. It meant hard work and was 
hard work. 

Ever since that day at Camp Funston when General Starbuck, on a tour of 
inspection to determine the fitness of artillery regiments in the many canton- 
ments throughout the United States, passed dow n our lines endeavoring to inspect 
our rifles with little success, turned to Captain Greable at the conclusion and 
said, "Give them 'Present Arms,' if you think they will recognize the command," 
and Captain Greable, somewhat embarrassed replied, "No, sir. General, I don't 
belie\'e they will. We have never sought parade ground honors. We have been 
content to let the other organizations, whenever possible, appear without the 
Supply Company at dismounted inspections and re\iews." 

Much credit for the initial organization is due to Captain Wentworth's 
broad knov\ledge and understanding of men. His kindly personal nature did 
much, during recruit days at Camp Funston, to instill the spirit of fellowship 
and accomplishment into the men from Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, 
Kansas and Missouri, who were assigned to the company. Coming from civilian 
life they knew nothing of soldiering, and he steered them through this difficult 
period with patience and rare judgment. We were even formally introduced to 
the First Sergeant. That is humorous to us today, but then we appreciated it, 
for few knew the difference between that individual and a kitchen police. 

Later on, in January. 1918. when Captain Wentworth was transferred to 
brigade commander's stafi', Captain Robert W. Greable assumed command.

A man of long military service he understood the game. Results were his aim. 
Giving the initiative of the men fair play and anticipating events, he made the 
organization ready at all times for whatever task, or obstacle, might confront it. 

Our life at Camp Funston afforded many pleasantries. We were more or 
less serious in our work, but never so serious that we failed to discern humor in 
the work, and ne\'er so busy but what we could find time for play and amusement 
now and then. By tact we were usually successful in evading the thirteen second 
lieutenants, who were attached to the Supply Company for training and 
experience, and despite the strenuous routine they exacted were able to enjoy life. 

The Supply Company carried off the social honors at Camp Funston. 
Thanksgiving Day was our debut For the first time our mothers, fathers, 
wives, sisters, sweethearts, and brothers, were our guests. It was then our cooks 
founded their enviable reputation. Christmas was another red-letter day in 
our social history. After our wagon train had distributed its share of the 
Christmas packages to the men of the Division, dinner and dancing in the barracks 
followed. After this came on every possible occasion dinners and dances for 
the nurses of the Base Hospital at Fort Riley, whom we had the good fortune 
to corner from the remainder of the regiment. The envy of the other organ- 
izations was not concealed. Much as we enjoyed these events, e\en more did 
we look forward to the picnics at Pawnee Flats when we were the guests of the 
nurses. The "Zone", Army City's Palm Garden and BelFs Cafe were popular 
rendezvous, not to mention Topeka, which held certain attractions for the lucky 
holders of week-end passes. 

Enthusiastic participation in athletics and sports of all kinds was to our 
liking. Mules, of course, were our long suit; and if we did fail to win the 
regimental baseball championship, we did take Headquarters Company and 
Battery B into camp. 

Mention in general orders, by Major-General Wood, for the best four-line 
team of mules in a competitive show at Camp Funston was gained by the Supply 
Company. 

The last of May was a time of work all day long and part of the night. 
We carefully crated and loaded our materiel for overseas, (materiel which we 
never saw- again), issued thousands of pieces of clothing to the regiment in addition 
to other supplies. Finally, on June 3rd, we cleared the camp quartermaster and 
entrained for Camp Mills, Long Island, New York. 

Upon arrival there the Supply Company did some more equipping. A job 
well done was the reward of the hard labor and long hours entailed. Facilities 
were wholly inadequate for the size of the job. Small wall tents with paulins 
spread upon the ground were used for the sorting, sizing, and issuing of the 
property from the hugh sacks of supplies, but despite these adverse conditions 










/««CS>^>*."-^ 




^ 



the work was completed — a quarter-million dollar's worth of property handled 
in an increditahle short time. 

• New ^'ork held allurements to the men. Unfortunately day passes were 
scarce because of the nature of our work. However, after a night trip to 
Coney Island and environs by the commanding officer, which he reported most 
enjoyable, we were given the famous "Six-to-Six" passes and were enabled to see 
New York with its Broadway, Rockaway Beach and other attractions by 
night. Lieutenant Tabbert habitually held reveille to count the stragglers as 
they came wearily in. 

The trip overseas on the S. S. "Bohemia" is not easily forgotten. English 
characteristics, reviewed pro and con in the Supply Company section of the 
ship's hold, were certainly made sufficiently clear and pronounced by the views 
of the men so that they will long be remembered. July Fourth was an exceptional 
beautiful day. The day was calm and clear, and although we were in the submarine 
zone, yet with fitting and impressive ceremony our colors were hoisted to the 
ship's mast-head in proud defiance of the enem.y 

The arrival of the transport at Tilbury, London, marked again the beginning 
of hard vi.ork. The other organizations debarked shortly after the steamer 
docked, but not the Supply Company. Its lot was to unload the baggage and 
equipment of the regiment. A crude block and tackle was rigged up to lift the 
barrack bags up from the hold. Operated by hand, we thought that the last 
barrack bag would never be brought up. At Southampton we smashed the 
barrack bags again. At LeHarve the task again confronted us, only here we 
were hindered by countless "Chinks" who were supposed to help, but who only 
succeeded in always being in the way. The barracks bag followed us all the way 
to Camp de Souge, only to be salvaged. If we had only known those bags were 
to be salvaged eventually ! 

While waiting at Castelnau to enter the artillery training camp at Camp 
de Souge we began the work of re-equipping the regiment with animals, materiel, 
and countless other supplies, which was not finished until well toward the end 
of the training period, and then only after a large reduction in allowances. 
Sometimes the equipment was available at the depot quartermaster, but often it 
was assembled through our own efforts from the supply bases at Bordeaux. This 
meant doubled effort. 

On the eve of our departure for the front the three sections of the Company — 
the Regimental, the First Battalion and the Second Battalion — which were to be 
separated at the front, gave a banquet in commemoration of the end of the 
training period. Colonel Davis, the regimental commander, the honored guest 
of the evening, in a brief, characteristic, extemporaneous toast, made summary 
of the entire training, commending the organization, its personnel, its resource-

fullness and discipline, and laying stress on the importance of e\ery member 
realizing indixidual responsibility and initiati\e tor proper and eftecti\e functioning 
of a supply company unit at the front, 

1^ Headquarters of the regimental supply service was established at Pannes, 
a place centrally located between the firing batteries and the battalion echelons, 
well chosen for the distribution of supplies. Enemy observation of the dump 
was impossible save by an aeroplane. Protection from shell-fire was afforded 
by a bluff. Splinter-proof dugouts, which "Fritz" had only recently evacuated, 
were verv con\enient whene\er he decided that Pannes should be shelled.

The regimental section limited its operations among the railheads at 
Bouillonville, Essey, Bernecourt, Manicourt, Heudicourt and Vigneulles, and 
the regimental dump at Pannes. Rations, forage and other supplies were 
brought to the dump and there distributed to the echleons by ration carts and 
escort wagons. From the echelons the supplies and food were taken to the 
firing batteries at night. Night after night without fail, over roads oftentimes 
under shell-fire, water and rations were delivered to the gun crews. It can be 
stated with pride that the batteries never missed a meal w hile on the front through

the inability of the Supply Company to function, fulfilling Lieutenant Scott's 
promise, "If you say 'beans', it '11 be 'beans'." And neither were the "beans" 
secured always by merely asking for them. On a number of occasions 
emergencies were met by first securing the approval of "G-4", Second Army 
headquarters, of our requisitions, and then hauling with the faithful "Packard" 
supplies from quartermaster bases far to the rear. On two occasions supplies 
were drawn from Is-sur-Tille, a distance of 225 kilometers. 

While on the front the ordnance detachment had a multitude of jobs, some 
large and others small. The ammunition dumps were under the supervision 
of men from this detachment These men were habitually in the vicinity of 
these dumps and constantly exposed to shell-fire. The rest of the detachment 
was stationed at Pannes and handled signal and engineering property and ordnance. 
At night it \\ould take to the batteries, camouflage, timbers, corrugated iron 
and similar supplies which it had salvaged during the day. It also replaced disabled 
field pieces. 

We are proud of our record. Seldom did a court-martial disgrace our ranks. 
Every man who embarked at Boston saw service at the front, and every man 
lived to return to the States. We were remarkably free from sickness the records 
show . 

Army tact and stevedore talent always do contribute to supply company's 
histories.

REPORT OF 
GENERAL JOHN J. PERSHING, U.S.A. 



COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF 
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES 



Cabled to the Secretary of War, November 20, igiS. 
Corrected January t6, igiQ. 



General Headquarters, 
American Expeditionary Forces, 
November 20, 1918. 

To THE Secretary of War: 
My Dear Mr. Secretary : 

In response to your request, 1 ha\e the honor to submit this brief summary 
of the organization and operations of the .American E.xpeditionary Forces from 
May 26, 1917, until the signing of the armistice No\'ember 11, 1918. 

Pursuant to your instructions, immediately upon receiving my orders, I 
selected a small staff and proceeded to Europe in order to become familiar with 
conditions at the earliest possible moment. 

The wamith of our reception in England and France was only equalled by 
the readiness of the Commanders in Chief of the veteran armies of the Allies and 
their staffs to place their experience at our disposal. In consultation with them 
the most effective means of co-operation of effort were considered. With French 
and British armies at their maximum strength, and all efforts to dislodge the enemy 
from his firmly entrenched positions in Belgium and France having failed, it was 
necessary to plan for an American force adequate to turn the scale in favor of the 
Allies. Taking account of the strength of the Central Powers at that time, the 



® fHliil 




-123- 




immensity of the problem which confronted lis could hardly be overestimated. 
The first requisite being an organization that could give intelligent direction to 
eftort. the foimation of a general staff occupied my early attention. 

General Staff 

A well organized general staff through which the Commander e.xercises his 
functions is essential to a successful modern army. Houever capable our divisions, 
our battalions and our companies as such, success would be impossible without 
throughly co-ordinated endeavor. A general staff broadly organized and trained 
for war had not hitherto existed in our army. Under the Commander in Chief, 
this staft must carry out the policy, and direct the details of administration, 
supply, preparation and operations of the army as a whole, with all special branches 
and bureaus subject to its control. As models to aid us we had the veteran French 
General Staff and the experience of the British, who had similarly formed an 
organization to meet the demands of a great army. By selecting from each the 
features best adapted to our basic organization, and fortified by our own early 
experience in the war, the developments of our great general staff system was 
completed. 

The General Staff is naturally divided into five groups, each with its chief, 
who is an assistant to the Chief of the General Staff. G-l (General Staff- 1) 
is in charge of organization and equipment of troops, replacements, tonnage, 
priority of overseas shipments, the auxiliary welfare associations and cognate 
subjects; G-2 has censorship, enemy intelligence, gathering and disseminating 
information, preparation of maps and all similar subjects; G-3 is charged with all 
strategic studies and plans, movement of troops and the supervision of combat 
operations; G-4 co-ordinates important questions of supply, construction, trans- 
port arrangements for combat, and the operations of the Services of Supply, and 
of hospitalization and the evacuation of the sick and wounded; G-5 supervises 
the various schools and has general direction and co-ordination of education and 
training. 

The first Chief of Staff was Colonel (now Major General) James G. Harbord, 
who was succeeded in May, 1918, by Major General James W. McAndrew. To 
these officers, to the Deputy Chief of Staff, and to the Assistant Chiefs of Staff, 
who as heads of sections aided them, great credit is due for the results obtained, 
not only in perfecting the general staff' organization, but in applying correct 
principles to the multiplicity of problems that have arisen. 

Organization and Training 
After a thorough consideration of allied organizations, it was decided that 








our combat di\isions should consist of two infantry brigades of two regiments 
each, an artillery brigade of three regiments, a machine gun battalion, an engineer 
regiment, a trench mortar battery, a signal battalion, and headquarters, trains 
and military police; that our infantry regiments were to consist of approximately 
3,700 men organized as follows: a headquarters company, a supply company, 
a machine gun company, and three battalions with four companies, each ot 250 
men to a battalion. These with medical and other units made a total of over 
28,000 men, or practically double the size of a French or German division. Each 
corps would normally consist of six divisions, four combat and one depot and one 
replacement di\ ision, and also two regiments of cavalry, and each army of from 
three to five corps With four divisions fully trained, a corps could take over an 
American sector, with two divisions in line and two in reserve, with the depot 
and replacement di\isions prepared to fill the gaps in the ranks. 

Our purpose was to prepare an integral American force which should be 
able to take the offensi\e in every respect. Accordingly the development of a 
self-reliant infantry by thorough drill in the use of the rifle and in the tactics of 
open warfare was always uppermost. The plan of training after arrival in France 
allowed a division one month for acclimatization and instruction in small units 
from battalions down, a second month in quiet trench sectors by battalions, and 
a third month after it came out of the trenches, when it should be trained as a 
complete division in war of movement. 

V^ry early a system of schools was outlined and started, having the advantage 
of instruction by officers direct from the front. At the great school center at 
Langres, one of the first to be organized w as the staff school, where the principles 
of general staff work as laid dow n in our own organization were taught to carefully 
selected officers. Men in the ranks who had shown qualities of leadership were 
sent to the school of candidates for commissions. A school of the line taught 
younger officers the principles of leadership, tactics and the use of the different 
weapons. In the Artillery School at Saumur young officers were taught the 
fundamental principles of modern artillery, while at Issoudun an immense plant 
was built for training cadets in aviation. These and other schools with their 
well-considered curriculums for training in every branch of our organizations 
were co-ordinated in a manner best to develop an efficient army out of willing 
and industrious young men, many of whom had not before known e\'en the 
rudiments of military technique. Both Marshall Haig and General Retain 
placed officers and men at our disposal for instructional purposes, and we are 
deeply indebted for the opportunities given to profit by their veteran experience.

American Zone 

The eventual place the American Army should take on the western front 
was to a large extent influenced by the vital questions of communication and 
supplies. The northern ports of France were crowded hy the British Army's 
shipping and supplies, while the southern ports, though otherwise at our service, 
had not adequate port facilities for our purposes, and these we should ha\e to 
build. The already overtaxed railway system behind the active front in northern 
France would not he available for us as lines of supply, and those leading from the 
southern ports to northeastern France would be unequal to our needs without 
much new construction. Practically all warehouses, supply depots and regulating 
stations must be provided by fresh construction. While France offered us such 
material as she had to spare after a drain of three years of war, yet there were 
enormous quantities of material to be brought across the Atlantic. 

With such a problem any temporization or lack of definiteness in making 
plans might cause failure even with victory within our grasp. Moreover, broad 
plans commensurate with our national purpose and resources would bring con- 
viction of our power to every soldier in the front line, to the nations associated 
with us in the war, and to the enemy. The tonnage for material for necessary 
construction and for the supply of an army of three and perhaps four million 
men would require a mammoth program of shipbuilding at home, and miles of 
dock construction in France, with a correspondingly large project for additional 
railways and for storage depots. 

All these considerations led to the inevitable conclusion that, if we were 
to handle and supply the great forces deemed essential to win the war, we must 
utilize the southern ports of France. Bordeau.x, La Pallice, St. Nazaire and Brest, 
and the comparatively unused railway systems leading therefrom to the northeast. 
Generally speaking, then, this would contemplate the use of our forces against 
the enemy somewhere in that direction, but the great depots of supply must be 
centrally located, preferably in the area included by Tours, Bourges and Chafea- 
urox, so that our armies could be supplied with equal facility wherever they might 
be ser\ing on the western front. 

Growth of the Services of Supply 

To build up such a system there were talented men in the Regular Army, 
but more experts were necessary than the army could furnish. Thanks to the 
patriotic spirit of our people at home, there came from civil life men trained for 
every sort of work involved in building and managing an organization that was 
to handle and transport such an army and keep it supplied. With such assistance 
the construction and general development of our plans ha\e kept pace with 




the growth of the forces, and the Ser\ices of Supply is now able to discharge from 
ship and move 45,000 tons daily, besides transporting troops and material necessary 
in the conduct of active operations. 

As to organization, all the administratixe and supply services, except the 
Adjutant General's, Inspector General's and Judge Advocate General's Depart- 
ments, which remain at General Headquarters, have been transferred to the 
Headquarters of the Services of Supply at Tours, under a Commanding General 
responsible to the Commander in Chief for supply of the armies. The Chief 
Quartermaster, Chief Surgeon. Chief Signal Officer, Chief of Ordnance. Chief 
of Air Ser\ice. Chief of Chemical Warfare Service and the General Purchasing 
Agent, in all that pertains to questions of procurement of supply, the Provost 
Marshall General in the maintenance of order in general, and the Director General 
of Transportation in all that affects such matters, and the Chief Fngineer in all 
matters of administration and supply, are subordinate to the Commanding 
General of the Services of Supply, who. assisted by a stafi especially organized 
for the prupose. is charged uith the administrative co-ordination of all these 
ser\ices. 

The Transportation Department under the Services of Supply directs the 
operation and maintenance of railways, the operation of terminals, the unloading 
of ships and transportation of material to warehouses or to the front. Its functions 
make necessary the most intimate relationship between our organization and that 
of the French, with the practical result that our transportation department has 
been able to improve materially the operation of railways generally. Constantly 
laboring under a shortage of rolling stock the transportation department has 
nevertheless been able by efficient management to meet every emergency. 

The Engineer Corps is charged with all construction, including light and 
standard gauge railways and roads. It has planned and constructed the many 
projects required, the most important of which are the new whar\es at Bordeaux 
and Nantes, and the immense storage depots at La Pallice, Montoir and Gievres, 
besides innumerable hospitals and barracks in various ports of France. These 
projects have all been carried on by phases, keeping pace with our needs. The 
Forestry Service under the Engineers Corps has cut the greater part of the timber 
and railway ties required. 

To meet the shortage of supplies from America due to lack of shipping, the 
representatives of the different supply departments were constantly in search of 
available material and supplies in Europe. In order to co-ordinate these purchases 
and to prexent competition betw een our departments, a general purchasing agency 
was created early in our experience to co-ordinate our purchases and. if possible, 
induce our Allies to apply the principle among the Allied armies. While there 
was no authority for the general use of appi-opiiations, this was met by grouping 



rs? 




the purchasing representatixes of the different departments under one control, 
charged with the duty of consolidating recjuisitions and purchases. Our efforts 
to extend the principle have been signally successful, and all purchases for the 
Allied armies are now on an equitable and co-operative basis. Indeed, it may 
be said that the work of this bureau has been thoroughly efficient and businesslike. 

.Artillery, Airplanes and Tanks 

Our entry into the war found us with few of the auxiliaries necessary for 
its conduct in the modern sense. Among our most important deficiencies in 
material were artillery, aviation and tanks. In order to meet our requirements 
as rapidly as possible, we accepted the offer of the French government to provide 
us with the necessary artillery equipment of 75's, 155 mm. Howitzers and 155 
G. P. F. guns from their own factories for 30 divisions. The wisdom of this 
course is fully demonstrated by the fact that, although we soon began the manu- 
facture of these classes of guns at home, there were no guns of the calibers 
mentioned manufactured in America on our front at the date the armistice was 
signed. The only guns of these types produced at home thus far received in 
France are 109 75 mm. guns. 

In aviation we were in the same situation, and here again the French govern- 
ment came to our aid until our own aviation program should be under way. We 
obtained from the French the necessary planes for training our personnel, and 
they have provided us with a total of 2,676 pursuit, observation and bombing 
planes. The first airplane received from home arrived in May, and altogether 
we have received 1,379 planes. The first American squadron completely equipped 
by American production, including airplanes, crossed the German lines on August 
7, 1918. As to tanks, we were also compelled to rely upon the French. Here, 
however, we were less fortunate, for the reason that the French production could 
barely meet the requirements of their own armies. 

It should be fully realised that the French government has always taken a 
most liberal attitude, and has been most anxious to give us every possible assistance 
in meeting our deficiencies in these as well as in other respects. Our dependence 
upon France for artillery, aviation and tanks was, of course, due to the fact that 
our industries had not been exclusively devoted to military production. All 
credit is due our own manufacturers for their efforts to meet our requirements, 
as at the time the armistice was signed we were able to look forward to the early 
supply of practically all our necessities from our own factories.

to the mothers and fathers and kindred of the men who came to France in the 
impressionable period of youth. They could not have the pri\ilege accorded 
European soldiers during their periods of leave of visiting their families and 
renewing their home ties. Fully realising that the standard of conduct that 
should be established for them must have a permanent influence on their lives 
and on the character of their future citizenship, the Red Cross, the Young Men's 
Christian Association, the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army, and the 
Jewish Welfare Board, as au.xiliaries in this work, were encouraged in e\erv 
possible wa\-. The fact that our soldiers, in a land of different customs and 
language, have borne themselves in a manner in keeping w ith the cause for w hich 
they fought, is due not only to the eflorts in their behalf, but much more to their 
high ideals, their discipline and their innate sense of self-respect. It should be 
recorded, however, that the members of these welfare societies ha\'e been untiring 
in their desire to be of real service to our officers and men. 1 he patriotic de\otion 
of these representati\e men and women has gi\'en a new significance to the Golden 
Rule and we owe to them a debt of gratitude that can nex'er be paid. 

Combat Operations 

During our periods of training in the trenches some of our divisions had 
engaged the enemy in local combats, the most important of w hich was Seicheprey 
by the 26th Dixision on .April 20th, in the Toul sector, but none had participated 
in action as a unit. The 1st Di\ision. which had passed through the preliminary 
stages of training, had gone to the trenches for its first period of instruction at 
the end of October, and by March 21st, when the German offensive in Picardy 
began, we had four divisions with experience in the trenches, all of which were 
equal to any demands of battle action. The crisis w hich this offensive developed 
was such that our occupation of an .American sector had to be postponed. 

On March 28th I placed at the disposal of Marshal Foch, who had been agreed 
upon as Commander in Chief of the Allied Armies, all of our forces, to be used as 
he might decide. At his request the 1st Di\ision was transferred from the Toul 
sector to a position in reserve at Chaumont-en-Vexin. As German superiority 
in numbers required prompt action, an agreement was reached at the Abbeville 
conference of the Allied Premiers and Commanders and myself on May 2nd by 
which British shipping was to transport ten American di\isions to the British 
army area, where they were to be trained and equipped, and additional 
British shipping was to be provided for as many di\isions as possible for use 
elsewhere. 

On April 2tith the 1st Division had gone into the line in the Montdidier salient 
on the Picardv battle front. Tactics had been suddenlv rexolutionized to those of 



m^

l€32r™*^r" ^'"^ — ^ri — ~^^^il"f^:^^ 



open warcfare, and our men confident of the results of their training were eager 
for the test. On the morning of May 28th this division attacked the commanding 
German position in its front, taking with splendid dash the town of Cantigny 
and all other objectives which were organized, and held steadfastly against vicious 
counter-attacks and galling artillery fire. Although local, this brilliant action 
had an electrical effect, as it demonstrated our fighting qualities under extreme 
battle conditions, and also that the enemy's troops were not altogether invincible. 

The Germans' Aisne oflensi\e. which began on May 27th, had advanced 
rapidly towards the River Marne and Paris, and the Allies faced a crisis equally 
as grave as that of the Ficarciy offensive in March. Again every available man 
was placed at Marshal Foch's disposal, and the 3rd Di\ision, which had just 
come from its preliminary training area, was hurried to the Marne. Its motorized 
machine gun battalion preceded the other units, and successfully held the bridge- 
head at the Marne opposite Chateau-1 hierry. The 2nd Di\ision, in reserve 
near Montdidier, was sent by motor ti'iicks and other available transport to 
check the progress of the enemy toward Paris. The division attacked and retook 
the town and raili'oad station at Eouresches and sturdily held its ground against 
the enemy's best Guard divisions. In the battle of Eelleau Wood which followed 
our men proved their superiority, and gained a strong tactical position with far 
greater loss to the enemy than to ourselves. On July 1st, befoi-c the 2nd Division 
was relieved, it captured the village of Vaux with most splendid precision. 

Meanwhile, our Second Gorps, under Vlajor General George "Vv'. Read, had 
been organized for the command of our divisions with the British which were 
held back in training areas or assigned to second line defenses. Five of the ten 
divisions were withdrawn from the British area in June, three to relieve divisions 
in Loriaine and the Vosges, and two to the Paris area to join the group of American 
divisions which stood between the city and any fuither advance of the enemy 
in that direction. 

The great June-July troop miOvement from the States was well under way, 
and, although these troops were to be given some preliminary training before 
being put into action, their very piresence warranted the use of all the older divisions 
in the confidence that we did not lack reserves. Flements of th.e 42nd Division 
were in the line east of Rheims against the German offensive of July 15th, and 
held their ground unflinchingly. On the right flank of this offensive four companies 
of the 28th Division were in position in face of the advancing waves of the 
German infantry. 1 he 3rd Division was holding the south bank of the Marne 
from a point I '2 kilometers east of Mezy to Ghierry, v\hich is just east of Ghateau- 
Thierry, where a large force of German infantry sought to force a passage under 
suppiort of powerful artillery concentrations and under cover of smoke screens. A 
single regiment of the 3rd Division wrote one of the most brilliant pages in our 



— l.iO— 






military annals on this occasion, it prevented the crossing at certain points on its 
front, while, on either flank, the Germans who had gained a footing pressed forward. 
Our men firing in three directions met the German attacks with counter-attack 
at critical point, and succeeded in throwing two German divisions into complete 
confusion, capturing six hundred prisoners. 

The great force of the German Chateau-Thierry offensive established the 
deep Marne salient, hut the enemy was taking risks and the vulnerability of 
this pocket to attack might be turned to his disadvantage. Seizing the opportunity 
to support my conviction, every division with any sort of training was made 
a\ailable for use in a counter offensive. The place of honor in the thrust toward 
Soissons on July 18th was gi\en to our 1st and 2nd Divisions, in company with 
chosen French divisions. Without tl-.e usual brief warning of a preliminary 
bombardment, the massed French and American artillery, firing by the map, 
laid down its rolling barrage at dawn while the infantry began its charge. The 
tactical handling of our troops under these trying conditions was excellent 
throughout the action. The enemy brought up large numbers of reserves and 
made a stubborn defense both with machine guns and artillery, but through 
fi\e days' fighting the 1st Division continued to advance until it had gained the 
heights above Soissons and captured the \illage of Berzy-le-Sec. The 2nd Division 
took Beaurepaire farm and V'ierzy in a very rapid advance, and reached a position 
in front of Tigny at the end of its second day. These two divisions captured 
7,0CO prisoners and over ICO pieces of artillery. 

On July 18th the First Corps, commanded by Major General Hunter Liggett, 
consisting of 26th American Division and the 167th French Division, held a sector 
just northwest of Chatteau-Thierry. During the first stages of the attack on 
Soissons starting on July ISth, the 26th Division acted as a pi\ot, resting its 
right on Hill 204 just west of Chatteau-Thierry, until the battle line to the north- 
v\est had been straightened out. On July 20th, this had been accomplished and 
the First Corps then became the marching flank of a much larger pi\otal move- 
ment which rested its left flank on the hills southwest of Soissons. At the time 
of the above attack the 3rd Division just east of Chateau-Thierry was crossing 
the Marne in pursuit of the retreating enemy. The attack of the First Corps 
was continued on July 21st and the enemy withdrew past the Chateau-Thierry- 
Soissons road. The 3rd Division continuing its progress took the heights of 
Mont St. Pere and the villages of Charte\es and Jaulgonne in the face of both 
machine gun and artillery fire. 

On the 24th, after the Germans had fallen back from Trugny and Fpiede, 
our 42nd Division, which had been brought over from the Champagne, relieved 
the 26th Division, and, fighting its way through the Forest de Fere, overwhelmed 
the nests of machine guns in its path. By the 27th it had reached the Ourcq, 






-\}\- 




whence tlie 3rd and 4th Divisions were already advancing, while the French 
divisions with which we were co-operating were moving forward at other points. 
The 3rd Division had made its advance into Roncheres Wood on the 2Qth, 
and was relieved for rest by a brigade of the 32nd Division. The 42nd and 32nd 
Divisions undertook the task of conquering the heights beyond Cierges, the 42nd 
capturing Sergy and the 32nd capturing Hill 230, both American divisions joining 
in the rapid pursuit of the enemy to the Vesle, and thus the operation of reducing 
the salient was finished. 

On August 3rd the 42nd Division was relieved by the 4th Division at Chery- 
Chartreuve, and on August 9th the 32nd Division was relieved by the 2Sth Division. 
The 4th Division in turn was relieved on August 12th by the 77th Division. The 
First Corps operated in this region until the 1 3th of August, when it was transferred 
to the vicinity of Toul. The Third Corps, in which the 28th. 32nd and 77th 
Divisions served at \'arious times. Major General Robert L. Bullard commanding, 
took part in the offensixe on the Vesle from August 5th until September 9th. 
on which date the command passed to the French, and Corps Headquarters was 
transferred to the region of Verdun. 

B.MTLE OF St. MlHIEL 

With the reduction of the Marne salient we could look forward to the con- 
centration of our divisions in our own zone. In view of the forthcoming operation 
against the St. Mihiel salient, which had long been planned as our first offensive 
action on a large scale, the First Army was organized on August 10th under my 
personal command. While American units had held different divisional and 
corps sectors all along the western front, there had not been up to this time, for 
obvious reasons, a distinct American sector; but in \iew of the important part 
the American forces were now to play it was necessary to take over a permanent 
portion of the line. Accordingly on August 30th the line beginning at Port-sur- 
Seille, east of the Moselle and extending to the west through St. Mihiel, thence 
north to a point opposite Verdun, was placed under my command. The American 
sector was afterward extended across the Meuse to the western edge of the 
Argonne Forest, and included the 2nd French Colonial Corps which held the 
point of the salient, and the 17th French Corps which occupied the heights above 
Verdun. 

The preparation for a complicated operation against the formidable defenses 
in front of us included the assembling of divisions, and of corps and army artillery, 
transport, air craft, tanks, ambulances, the location of hospitals, and the moulding 
together of all the elements of a great modern army, with its own railheads, 
supplied directly by our own Services of Supply. The concentration for this 



—132- 




— j^T^^r "■ — — - ^kj 




operation, which was to be a surprise, in\oi\ed the mo\ement mostly at night 
of appro.\imately bOO.OOO troops, and required for its success the most careful 
attention to every detail. 

The French were generous in giving us assistance in corps and army artillery, 
with its personnel, and we were confident from the start of our superiority over 
the enemy in guns of all calibers. Our heavy guns were able to reach Metz and 
to interfere seriously with German rail mo\ements. The French independent 
air force was placed under my command, which, together w ith the British bombing 
squadrons and our own air forces, ga\e us the largest assembly of a\iation that 
had ever been engaged in one operation on the western front. 

From Les Eparges around the nose of the salient of St. Mihiel to the Moselle 
River the line was roughly forty miles long and situated on commanding ground, 
greatly strengthened by artificial defenses. Our First Corps (82nd, 90th, 5th 
and 2nd Divisions), under command of Major General Hunter Liggett, resting 
its right on Pont-a-Mousson, with its left joining our Fourth Corps (the 89th, 
42nd and 1st Divisions), under Major General Joseph T. Dickman, in line to 
Xivray, were to sw ing in toward Vigneulles, on the pivot of the Moselle River, 
for the initial assault. From Xivray to Mouilly the Second French Colonial 
Corps was in line in the center, and our Fifth Corps, under command of Major 
General George H. Cameron, with the 26th and 4th U. S. Divisions and the 15th 
French Colonial Division at the western base of the salient, were to attack three 
difficult hills, Les Eparges, Combres and Amaranthe. Our First Corps had in 
reserve the 78th Division, our Fourth Corps the 3rd Division, and our First Army 
the 35th and 91st Divisions, with the 80th and 33rd Divisions available. It 
should be understood that our corps organizations are very elastic, and that we 
have at no time had permanent assignments of divisions to corps. 

After four hours' artillery preparation the se\'en American divisions in the 
front line advanced at 5 a. m., on September 12th, assisted by a limited number 
of tanks, manned partly by Americans and partly by the French. These divisions, 
accompanied by groups of wire cutters and others armed with bangalore torpedoes, 
went through the successive bands of barbed wire that protected the enemy's 
front line and support trenches in irresistible waves on schedule time, breaking 
down all defense of an enemy demoralized by the great volume of our artillery 
fire and our sudden appearance out of the fog. 

Our First Corps took Thiaucourt, while our Fourth Corps curved back to 
the southwest through Nonsard. The Second French Colonial Corps made the 
slight advance required of it on very difficult ground, and the Fifth Corps took 
its three ridges and repulsed a counter-attack. A rapid march brought reserve 
regiments of a di\'ision of the Fifty Corps into Vigneulles in the early morning, 
where it linked up with patrols of our Fourth Corps, closing the salient and forming 



.., — . //' ^-^'/^^ 



-133- 






a new line west of Thiaucourt to Vignculles and beyond Fresnes-en-\Voe\re. 
At the cost of only 7,000 casualties, mostly light, we had taken 13,751 prisoners 
and 443 guns, a great quantity of materiel, released the inhabitants of many 
villages from enemy domination and established our lines in a position to threaten 
Metz. The signal success of the new American Army in its first offensive was of 
prime importance. The Allies found they had a formidable army to aid them, 
and the enemy learned finally that he had one to reckon with. 

Meuse-Argonne Offensive — First Phase 

On the day after we had taken the St, Mihiel salient, much of our coi'ps and 
army artillery which had operated at St. Mihiel, and our di\isions in reserve at 
other points, were already on the move toward the area back of the line between 
the Meuse River and the western edge of the Forest of Argonne. With the 
exception of St. Mihiel, the old German front line from Switzerland to the east 
of Rheims was still intact. In the general attack planned all along the line, the 
operation assigned the American Anny as the hinge of this allied offensi\'e was 
directed toward tb.e impoitant railroad communications of the German armies 
through Mezieres and Sedan. The enemy must hold fast to this part of his 
lines or the withdrawal of his forces with four years' accumulation of plants and 
material would be dangerously imperiled. 

The German Army had as yet shown no demoralization, and, while the 
mass of its troops had suffered in morale, its first class divisions and notably its 
machine gun defense were exhibiting remarkable tactical efficiency as well as 
courage. The German General Staff was fully aware of the consequences of a success 
on the Meuse-Argonne line. Certain that he would do everything in his power to 
oppose us, the action was planned with as much secrecy as possible, and was 
undertaken with the determination to use all our divisions in forcing a decision. 
We expected to draw the best German divisions to our front and consume them, 
while the enemy was held under grave apprehension lest our attack should break 
his line, which it was our firm purpose to do. 

Our right flank was protected by the Meuse, while our left embraced the 
Argonne Forest, whose ravines, hills and elaborate defenses screened by dense 
thickets had been generally considered impregnable. Our order of battle from 
right to left was the Third Gorps from the Meuse to Malancourt, with the 33rd, 
80th and 4th Divisions in line and the 3rd Division as corps reserve; the Fifth 
Corps from Malancourt to Vauquois, with the 79th, 37th and '^Ist Divisions in 
line and the 32nd Division in corps reserve; and the First Corps, from Vauquois 
to Vienne-le-Chateau, with the 35th, 28th and 77th Divisions in line and the 92nd

Dixision in corps reser\-e. The army reserve consisted of the 1st, 29th and 82nd 
Di\"isions. . 

On the night of Septemi?er 25th our troops quietly took the place of the 
French who thinly held the line in this sector, which had long been inacti\'e. 
In the attack which began on the 26th we dro\"e through the barbed wire entangle- 
ments and the sea of shell craters across No Man's Land, mastering all the first 
line defenses. Continuing on the 27th and 28th, against machine guns and artillery 
of an increasing number of enemy reser\e divisions, we penetrated to a depth 
of from three to se\en miles and took the \-illage of Montfaucon and its commanding 
hill, and F.xermont, Gercourt, Cuisy. Septsarges, Malancourt. Ivoiry, Epinon\ille. 
Charpentry, Very and other xillages. We had taken 10,000 prisoners; we had 
gained our point of forcing the battle into the open, and were prepared for the 
enemy's reaction which was bound to come, as he had good roads and ample 
railroad facilities for bring up his artillei'y and reserves. 

In the chill rain of dark nights our engineers had to build new roads across 
spongy, shell torn areas, repair broken roads beyond No Man's Land, and build 
bridges. Our gunners, w ith no thought of sleep, put their shoulders to wheels 
and drag-ropes to bring their guns through the mire in support of the infantry 
now under the increasing fire of the enemy's artillery. Our attack had taken the 
enemy by surprise, but, quickly recoxering himself, he began fierce counter-attacks 
in strong force, supported by heavy bombardments with large quantities of gas. 
From September 28th until October 4th we maintained the offensive against patches 
of woods defended by snipei^s and continuous lines of machine guns, and pushed 
forward our guns and transport, seizing strategical points in preparation for 
further attacks. 

Other Units w ith Allies 

Other divisions attached to the Allied armies were doing their part. It 
was the fortune of our Second Corps, composed of the 27th and 30th Di\isions, 
which had remained with the British, to have a place of honor in co-operation 
with the Australian Corps, on September 29th and October 1st, in the assault 
upon the Hindenburg line, where the St. Qucntin Canal passes through a tunnel 
under a ridge. The 30th Division speedily broke through the main line of defense 
for all its objectives, while the 27th Division pushed on impetuously through the 
main line until some of its element reached Gtioy. In the midst of the maze of 
trenches and shell craters, and under cross-fire from machine guns, the other 
elements fought desperately, against odds. In this and in later actions, from 
October 6th to October 19th, our Second Corps captured over 6.000 prisoners 
and advanced over 13 miles. The spirit and aggressiveness of these divisions 
have been highly praised by the British Aimy Commander under whom they ser\ed. 





'"^Jf 



-^ 



On October 2nd-Qth our 2nd and 3bth Divisions were sent to assist the French 
in an important attack against the old German positions before Rheims. The 
2nd Division conquered the complicated defense works on their front against a 
persistent defense worthy of the grimmest period of trench warfare, and attacked 
the strongly held wooded hill of Blanc Mont, which they captured in a second 
assault, sweeping over it with consummate dash and skill. This division then 
repulsed strong counter-attacks before the village and cemetery of St. Etienne, 
and took the town, forcing the Germans to fall back from before Rheims and 
yield positions they had held since September, 1914. On October 9th the 3bth 
Division relieved the 2nd Division, and, in its first experience under fire, withstood 
\ery severe artillery bombardment, and rapidly took up the pursuit of the enemy 
now retiring behind the Aisne. 

Meuse-Argonne Offensin'e — Second Ph.\se 

The Allied progress elsewhere cheered the efforts of our men in this crucial 
contest as the German command threw in more and more first class troops to 
stop our advance. We made steady headway in the almost impenetrable and 
strongly held Argonne Forest, for, despite his reinforcements, it was our army 
that was doing the driving. Our aircraft was increasing in skill and numbers 
and forcing the issue, and our infantry and artillery were improving rapidly with 
each new experience. The replacements fresh from home were put into exhausted 
divisions with little time for training, but they had the advantage of serving 
beside men who knew their business and who had almost become veterans over- 
night. The enemy had taken every advantage of the terrain, which especially 
fa\ored the defense, by a prodigal use of machine guns manned by highly trained 
veterans and by using his artillery at short ranges. In the face of such strong 
frontal positions we should have been unable to accomplish any progress according 
to previously accepted standards, but 1 had every confidence in our aggressive 
tactics and the courage of our troops. 

On October 4th the attack was renewed all along our fi'ont. Ihe Third 
Corps tilting to the left followed the Brieulles-Cunel road: our Fifth Corps took 
Gesnes, while along the irregular valley of the Aire River and in the wooded hills 
of the Argonne that border the river, used by the enemy with all his art and 
weapons of defense, the Fii'st Corps advanced for over two miles. This sort of 
fighting continued against an enemy striving to hold every foot of ground and 
whose very strong counter-attacks challenged us at every point. On the 7th 
the First Corps captured Chatel-Chehery and continued along the river to Cornay. 
On the east of the Meuse sector, one of the two divisions co-operating with the 
French captured Consenvoys and the Haumont Woods. On the 9th the First 



air. 




m^_ 




Corps, in its progress up the Aire, took Fieville, and the Fifth Corps advanced 
in the rolling open country north of Gesnes. The Third Corps, which had con- 
tinuous fighting against odds, was working its way through Brieulles and Cunel. 
On the 10th we had cleared the Argonne Forest of the enemy. The 1st Division, 
operating successively under the First Corps and under the Fifth Corps between 
October 4th and October 1 1 th, drove a salient into the enemy's territory extending 
from the Apremont-Epinon\'ille road to the north of the Cote de Maldah, over 
a distance of 7 kilometers, against the most powerful opposition. F^ositions 
embraced in this area were of vital importance to the continuation of the general 
ad\ance. Their capture entailed some of the hardest fighting of the campaign. 
It was now necessary to constitute a Second Army, and on October 1 0th, the 
immediate command of the First Army was turned over to Lieutenant General 
Hunter Liggett. The command of the Second Army, whose di\isions occupied a 
sector in the Woe\re, was given to Lieutenant General Robert L. Bullard, who 
had been commander of the 1st Division and then of the Third Corps. Major 
General Dickman was transferred to the command of the First Corps, while the 
Fifth Corps was placed under Major General Charles P. Summerall, who had 
recently commanded the 1st Division. Major General John L. Hines, who had 
gone rapidly up from regimental to division commander, was assigned to the 
Third Corps. These officers had been in France from the early days of the 
E.xpedition and had learned their lesson in the school of practical warfare. 

Our constant pressure against the enemy brought day by day more prisoners, 
m.ostly survivors from machine gun nests captured in fighting at close quarters. 
On October 18th there was \ery fierce fighting in the Caures Woods, east of the 
K!euse, and in the Ormont Wood. On the 14th the First Corps took St. Ju\in, 
and the Fifth Corps, by hand to hand encounters, entered the formidable Kriem- 
hilde line, where the enemy had hoped to check us indefinitely. Later the Fifth 
Corps penetrated further the Kricmhilde line, and the First Corps took Champ- 
igneulles and the important town of Grand Pre. Our dogged offensive was 
wearing down the enemy, who continued desperately to throw his best troops 
against us. thus weakening his line in front of our Allies and making their advance 
less difficult. 

Divisions in Belgium 

Meanwhile, we were not only able to continue the battle, but our 37th and 91st 
Divisions were hastily withdrawn from our front and dispatched to help the 
French Army in Belgium. Detraining in the neighborhood of Ypres, these 
divisions advanced by rapid stages to the fighting line and were assigned to 
adjacent French corps. On October 3 1st, in continuation of the Flanders offensive, 
the\- attacked and methodicallv broke down all enemv resistance. On November

3rd, the 37th Division had completed its mission in driving the enemy across the 
Escaut River and firmly established itself along the east bank included in the 
division zone of action. By a clever flanking movement, troops of the 91st 
Division captured Spitaals Bosschen, a difficult wood extending across the central 
part of the division sector, reached the Scheldt and penetrated into the town of 
Audenarde. These divisions received high commendation from their corps 
commanders for their dash and energy. 

Meuse-.Argonne Offensive — Last Phase 

On the 23rd of October, the Thii-d and Fifth Corps pushed northward to the 
level of Banthexille. From this time until November 1st no attempt was made to 
advance. Every effort was concentrated on the preparation for the great attack 
which was soon to be made. Evidence of loss of morale by the enemy gave our 
men moi^e confidence and more fortitude in enclui'ing the fatigue of incessant effort 
and the hardships from inclement weather. 

With comparatively well rested divisions the final ad\ance in the Meuse- 
Argonne front was begun on November 1st. Oui- increased artillery force 
acquitted itself magnificently in support of the advance, and the enemy broke 
before the determined infantry, which by its persistent fighting of the past weeks 
and the dash of its attack had overcome his will to resist. The 1 hircl Corps 
took Aincreville, Doulcon. and Andevanne, and the Fifth Corps took Landres- 
et-St. Georges and pressed through successive lines of resistance to Bayonville, 
Chennery and to the north .of the Bois de Barricourt. On the 2nd the First 
Corps joined in the mo\emcnt, which now became an impetuous onslaught that 
could not be stayed. 

Qn the 3rd ad\'ance troops were hurried forward in pursuit, some by motor 
ti'Licks, while the artillery pressed along the country roads close behind. The 
First Corps reached Authe and Chatillon-sur-Bar, the Fifth Corps, Fosse and 
Nouart, and the Third Corps, Halles, penetrating the enemy's lines to a depth of 
twelve miles. Our large caliber guns had advanced and were skillfully brought 
into position to fire upon the important railroad lines at Montmedy, Longuyon 
and Conflans. Our 1 bird Corps crossed the Meuse on the 5th, and the other 
corps, in full confidence that the day was theirs, eagerly cleared the way of machine 
guns as they swept northward, maintaining complete co-ordination throughout. 
On the 6th a division of the First Corps reached a point on the Meuse opposite 
Sedan, twenty-five miles from our line of departure. The strategical goal which 
was our highest hope was gained. We had cut the enemy's main line of commun- 
ications and nothing but surrender or an armistice could save his army from com- 
plete disaster. 



'i'-'"-'"^"'"p.y 




-1^8- 






On the night of \'o\ ember 10th the Fifth Corps forced a crossing of the 
iVIeuse against heavy enemy resistance between Mouzon and Pouiily, and advanced 
to the Inor-Mouzon road w ith two battalions holding the high ground northwest 
of Inor. Early on the morning of the 11th a detaeliment of the Fifth Corps 
crossed the Meuse at Stenay and occupied that town in conjunction with elements 
of the Third Corps. Bridges were at once constructed at Pouiily and Stenay. 
These divisions were heavily engaged up to the moment of the armistice. 

In all, forty-four enemy divisions had been used against us in the Meuse- 
Argonne battle. Between September 26th and November bth we took 16,059 
prisoners and 468 guns on this front. Our divisions engaged were the 1st, 2nd, 
3rd, 4rd, 5th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 32nd, 33rd, 35th, 37th, 42nd, 77th, 78th, 79th, 
80th, 81st, 82nd. S'^th, "^Oth and 91st. Many of our divisions remained in line 
for a length of time that required nerves of steel, while others were sent in again 
after only a few days of rest. The 1st, 5th, 32nd, 42nd, 77th, 79th and 80th 
Divisions were in the line twice. .Although some of the divisions were fighting 
their first battle, they soon became equal to the best. 

Oper.mions East of the Meuse 

On the three days preceding November 10th the Third Corps and the 2ncl 
Colonial and 17th French Corps fought a difficult struggle through the Meuse 
hills south of Stenay and forced the enemy into the plain. Meanwhile my plans 
for further use of the American forces contemplated an advance between the 
Meuse and the Moselle in the direction of Longwy by the 1st Army, while at the 
same time the 2nd Army should assume the offensive toward the rich iron fields 
of Briey. These operations were to be followed by an ofTensive toward Chateau- 
Salins east of the Moselle, thus isolating Metz. Accordingly, attacks on the 
American front had been ordered, and that of the 2nd Armv' was in progress on 
the morning of November 11th when instructions were received that hostilities 
should cease at 1 1 o'clock a. m. 

At this moment the line of the American sector from right to left began at 
Port-sur-Seille, thence across the Moselle to Vandieres and through the Woevre 
to Bezonvaux in the foothills of the Meuse, thence along the foothills and through 
the northern edge of the Woevre forests to the Meuse beyond Stenay, thence along 
the west bank, crossing the river one kilometer northwest of Inor, thence along the 
eastern edge of the Bois de Hache. west to northern edge of Autreville, thence 
northwest to Moulins-Mouzon road, along that road to Bellefountaine Ferme, 
thence northwest crossing the Meuse: from there along the west bank of the 
Meuse to a point near Sedan, where we connected w ith the French.

Relations With the Allies 

Co-operation among the Allies has at all times been most cordial. A far 
greater effort has been put forth by the allied armies and staffs to assist us than 
could have been expected. The French go\ernment and army have always 
stood ready to furnish us with supplies, equipment and transportation and to 
aid us in every way. In the towns and hamlets wherexer our troops have been 
stationed, or billeted, the French people ha\e everyv\here recei\ed them more as 
relatives and intimate friends than as soldiers of a foreign army. For these things 
words are quite inadequate to e.xpress our gratitude. There can be no doubt 
that the relations growing out of our associations here assure a permanent friend- 
ship between the two peoples. Although we ha\e not been so intimately associated 
with the people of Great Britian, yet their troops and ours when thrown together 
have always warmly fraternized. The reception of those of our forces who have 
passed through England and of those w ho have been stationed there has always 
been enthusiastic. Altogether it has been deeply impressed upon us that the 
ties of language and blood bring the British and ourselves together completely 
and inseparably. 

Strength 

There are in Europe altogether, including a regiment and some sanitary 
uints with the Italian army and the organizations at Archangel, also including 
those en route from the States, approximately 2,053,347 men, less our losses. Of 
this totalthere are in France 1,338,169 combatant troops, f^orty divisions have 
arrived, of which the infantry personnel of 10 have been used as replacements, 
leaving 30 divisions now in France, organized into three armies of three corps each. 

The losses of the American army up to November 18th are: Killed and died 
of wounds, 3b, 154; died of disease, 14,811; deaths unclassified, 2,204; wounded, 
179,ti25; prisoners, 2,163; missing 11,660. We have captured altogether about 
44,000 prisoners and 1.400 guns, howitzers and trench mortars. 

Commendation 

The duties of the General Staff, as well as those of the army and corps staffs, 
have been \ery ably performed. Especially is this true when we consider the 
new and difficult problems with which they have been confronted. This body 
of officers, both as individuals and as an organization, have, 1 believe, no superiors 
in professional ability, in efficiency, or in loyalty. 

Nothing that we have in France better reflects the efficiency and devotion 
to duty of Americans in general than the Services of Supply, whose personnel is 
thoroughly imbued with a patriotic desire to do its full duty. They ha\"e at all 



—140- 



times fully appreciated their responsibility to the rest of the army, and the results 
produced have been most gratifying^ 

Our Medical Corps is especialK' entitled to praise for the general effectiveness 
of its work, both in hospitals and at the front. Embracing men of high professional 
attainments, and splendid women devoted to their calling and untiring in their 
efforts, this department has made a new record for medical and sanitary proficiency. 

The Quartermaster Department has had a difficult and varied task, but it 
has more than met all demands that ha\e been made upon it. Its management 
and its personnel ha\e been e.xceptionally efficient and deserve e\ery possible 
commendation. 

As to the more technical serxices, the able personnel of the Ordnance 
Department in France has spendidly fulfilled its functions both in procurement 
and in forwarding the immense quantities of ordnance required. The officers 
and men an^l the young women of the Signal Corps have performed their duties 
with a large conception of the problem and with a dexotecl and patriotic spirit 
to which the perfection of our communication daily testifies. While the Engineer 
Corps has .been referred to in another part of this report is should be further stated 
that their work has required large vision and high professional skill, and great 
credit is due their personnel for the high efficiency that they have constantly 
maintained. 

Our a\iators ha\e no equals in daring or in fighting ability, and have left a 
record of courageous deeds that will e\er remain a brilliant page in the annals of 
our army. While the Tank Corps has had limited opportunity its personnel 
has responded gallantly on e\ery possible occasion and has shown courage of 
the highest order. 

The Adjutant General's Department has been directed with a systematic 
thoroughness and excellence that surpasses any prexious work of its kind. The 
Inspector General's Department has risen to the highest standards, and throughout 
has ably assisted commanders in the enforcement of discipline. The able personnel 
of the Judge Advocate General's Department has soKed, w ith judgment and 
wisdom, the multitude of difficult legal problems, many of them in\ol\ing questions 
of great international importance. 

It would be impossible in this brief preliminary report to do justice to the 
personnel of all the different branches of this organization, which 1 shall co\-er 
in detail in a later report. 

The Na\y in European waters has at all times most cordially aided the 
Army, and it is most gratifying to report that there has ne\'er before been such 
perfect co-operation between these two branches of the service. 

As to Americans in Europe not in the military services, it is the greatest 



-141 — 



/^4^'«" .r"^ 






pleasure to say that, both in cflicial and in piivate life, they are intensely patriotic 
and loyal, and have been invariably sympathetic and helpful to the Army. 

Finally, I pay the supreme tribute to our officers and soldiers of the line. 
When I think of their heroism, their patience under hardship, their unflinching 
spirit of offensive action, I am filled with em.otion which I am unable to express. 
Their deeds are immiortal and they have earned the eternal gratitude of our 
country. 

I am, Mr. Secretary, 

\'ery respectfully, 

JOHN J. PERSHING, 
Geneial, Ccirmandcr in Chief, 
American Expeditionary Forces. 



Regimental Society 



Before we left Cerman> a meeting was held by representatives from 
each of the organizations in the regiment for the purpose of ascertaining the 
desire of the personnel thereof in regard to the organization of a society, for 
the purpose of perpetuating the good-fellowship which has always existed in 
the regiment, and to provide a center and means whereby records may be kept 
of all members of the regiment, and to arrange periodic meetings or gatherings 
to renew old acquaintances. It was the unanimous decision of the committee 
that such an organization should be established. 

While at Camp Pontanezen, Brest, France, on August 14, 1918, another 
meeting was called for the purpose of establishing a regimental society. Each 
organization of the regiment was represented; a constitution and by-laws 
were presented and adopted by unanimous vote. The follow ing officers were 
elected to hold ofiice until January I, 1Q20: 

Colonel Robert Da\is. President, 

Major John P. Swift, Vice-President. 

Captain Harry E. Randel, Secretary and Treasurer. 

First Lieutenant Robert L. Schultz, Historian. 

Sergeent-Major Clement A. Bowie, Senior MIember 

of the Executive Committee. 
First Sergeant John R. Carney, Junior Member of 
the Executi\e Committee. 
Headquarters of the society to be at Kansas City, Missouri, during the 
first vear.
